Cracking Calcium in the Capital at CRT

Posted by Emma Miller on Feb 18, 2020 1:45:15 PM
  • Tweet

Regardless of what party you align with or what type of calcium is the most challenging to you, CRT has a lithotripsy presentation for everyone this year in DC. Whether it’s calcified iliacs that prevent transfemoral access for TAVR and Impella procedures or calcified tibials in critical limb ischemia. Or if you’re in the EU (and the UK) and calcified bifurcations, ostials and left mains are more your cup of tea, we've got that too. Regardless of where challenging calcium presents itself, CRT will be showcasing how lithotripsy addresses it.

If we were to summarize LINC 2020 in one sentiment it would be: compelling science with great clinicians from around the world, and Shockwave IVL was no exception.  We had the privilege of being spotlight-featured in ten physician presentations, representing four specialties, from five countries around the world.  Talk about an international meeting!  The speakers, featured in our IVL Booth Speaker Series, on the podium, and in the Main Arena, shared cases and first-hand experience of how IVL cracks calcium across a broad range of peripheral anatomy – from the iliacs to the ankles.
