Calcified hostile access can be an exclusion criteria for endograft delivery and has been associated with both perioperative and long term morbidity and mortality…this is changing! Join the discussion between Drs Bosiers, Fazzini and Isernia and hear how IVL is changing the boundaries in their daily practice for endograft delivery by changing vessel compliance, providing excellent luminal gain and improving patient safety, simplifying the challenges raised by hostile calcified access.

Tune in for session 2 of Shockweek on Vascupedia as Dr. Elias Noory treats multiple highly calcified femoropopliteal lesions with IVL. During the session, our expert panel of Drs Lorenzo Patrone, Enrique Alejandre Lafont, Bella Huasen and Thanos Saratzis discuss how IVL can overcome the pitfalls of CLTI treatment by changing vessel compliance to reduce procedural complications. Dr. Noory and the panel also share pearls of wisdom on how to optimize your IVL strategy to get the best outcomes for patients and crack the calcium conundrum.

Shockwave partnered with Vascupedia to host a week-long virtual event with live cases and panel discussions. Session one focuses on ‘A New Approach to Tackling Calcified Disease in Large Vessels’. In the session, Dr. Elias Noory presents a live case from Bad Krozingen, Germany and is accompanied by an esteemed panel of Drs Arko, Bisdas and Coscas who discuss the role of endovascular treatment for common femoral disease.
Tune in to hear from the experts on how IVL is changing the treatment paradigm for heavily calcified CFA disease by providing a safe and effective treatment for calcified vessels. See how Dr. Noory utilizes IVL to achieve increased vessel compliance and luminal gain to enable a ‘leave-nothing-behind’ strategy.
