There’s no better way to start a new year than building positive momentum. Between great developments on coronary reimbursement to positive real-world data for Reducer, 2024 is off to a shock-worthy start.
Another highlight was the continuous enrollment of patients in our EMPOWER CAD Study — the first prospective clinical study in the interventional space completely dedicated to female patients. Our team also created new resources about optimal sizing for Peripheral IVL, as well as put the final touches on our new manufacturing facility in Costa Rica. Read more about our strong start and get excited about what’s to come in the latest edition of the PulsePoint Newsletter.

What a fantastic finish! From launching the new 120-pulse Shockwave C2+ catheter in the U.S. to establishing a new Category I CPT® Add-on Code for coronary IVL, Q4 was filled with wave-making moments and positive momentum.
One highlight was the release of sex-specific outcomes data for both coronary and peripheral IVL from the DISRUPT PAD III, DISRUPT CAD III and CAD IV studies. Additionally, the DISRUPT PAD III study provided important data supporting the practice of sizing up by 10% for peripheral IVL. Look back at a few of our most noteworthy Q4 accomplishments and get excited about what’s coming in 2024 in the latest issue of the PulsePoint Newsletter.

In this Cath Lab Digest article, Dr. Brian Jefferson of Centennial Heart, HCA Tristar Centennial Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee explains why the 40 additional pulses in the Shockwave C2+ catheter allows for an "IVL-first" strategy in lesions he previously reserved for atherectomy (i.e. long, diffuse lesions and multi-vessel disease).
