2021 was Shockwave’s best year yet! Although it brought challenges, with it came immense opportunities which allowed us to grow and exceed expectations. As we push on into 2022, we are excited for what the year will bring but most importantly, for the opportunities to continue to help improve patient outcomes across the globe. But before we get started, let’s review the highlights of last quarter. We released four data releases, including our 1-year results of our Coronary IVL pivotal study at TCT this year, making it a monumental event. We had some exciting peer-reviewed publications come out, enrolled the first patient in the Disrupt BTK II Study, and much more. Read the latest PulsePoint for all the updates!

In the recent Cardiovascular Revascularization Medicine article, “First United States experience with RotaShock: A case series,” Drs. Gautam Kumar and Rajesh Sachdeva of Emory and Atlanta VA Medical Center recount three successful cases using the RotaShock technique, a combination of rotational atherectomy with IVL for severely calcified vessels. Following its publication, we engaged them in a highly educational Q&A discussion about how the two technologies are very complementary to each other, and the new strategy can be used either electively or as a rescue. We hope you enjoy their additional perspective.

Winter is coming… and fast but before we enter the final home stretch of the year, let’s recount the milestones of the recent quarter in the latest edition of the PulsePoint Newsletter. Shockwave hit the ground running this quarter by bringing on various IVL experts from across the globe to discuss all things calcium on the ChalkTalk Podcast Series. Shockwave also made headlines in CathLab Digest with several physician-authored perspectives about the role of the technology in clinical practice. And it was great to finally get back to live, in-person conferences like VIVA ’21, where the results from the first 752 patients in the Disrupt PAD III Observational Study were presented. Catch up on what you may have missed and don’t forget watch the CalciumMasterclass.com series finale!
