Treating Eccentric Calcium: Addressing the ‘Thorn In Your Side’

Posted by Emma Miller on Jan 22, 2021 12:56:59 PM

Eccentric calcium has always been a ‘pain’…a real thorn in the interventionalists’ side.  While current devices in eccentric calcium often expand the healthy, non-calcified side of the artery or fall subject to wire bias that prevents it from reaching the calcified side of the artery, coronary Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) offers a new alternative that can modify both concentric and eccentric calcium equally as well. Don’t be satisfied with less than ideal stent expansion in eccentric calcium, instead learn how Dr. Margaret McEntegart has used IVL to modify eccentric calcium in the left main and hear Profs. Holger Nef & Carlo Di Mario share their recent publications and clinical data comparing IVL outcomes in eccentric and concentric calcified lesions.

If Shockwave IVL had a personality, we’d like to think that we’d be a bit on the eccentric side. A little unconventional and taking a slightly different path than everyone else. After all, you won’t be successful in introducing a new disruptive technology if you’re marching to the same drumbeat as everyone else.

In case you weren’t able to make it to EuroPCR’s e-Course last week, you missed a great discussion among some of coronary IVL’s most knowledgeable operators about how they’re using the technology in the real-world setting. Lucky for you, we’ve included the sponsored roundtable discussion below featuring Drs. Benjamin Honton (FR), Javier Escaned (ES) and Michael Lee (HK). We hope you enjoy hearing their perspectives from across Europe and Asia.

We're excited about IVL's potential in aortic stenosis, too!

But, right now we're in the early phases of the R&D program. In the meantime, don't miss the IVL application that heart teams are embracing already — maintaining transfemoral TAVR access through heavily calcified iliacs by using IVL.
