Over the past three months, Shockwave continued to ride a big wave of momentum with new product launches, inclusions in new journal articles, a pulse-racing presence at EuroPCR and more. The launch of Shockwave L6 Peripheral IVL Catheter in the U.S. came with physician-led case reviews, Q&As and more valuable content that demonstrate the big impact it can make in large peripheral vessels. We also turned up the heat at EuroPCR in Paris, where we showcased live cases, hosted an engaging symposium and participated in PCR TV interviews - all while focusing heavily on the European launch of our Shockwave C2+ Coronary IVL Catheter, which includes 50% more pulses than the original Shockwave C2. Dive right in and catch the wave of excitement in the latest issue of the PulsePoint newsletter!

2023 was off to a shockingly great start! We were thrilled to acquire Neovasc, a company with a first-of-its-kind technology to address refractory angina, and are looking forward to driving value for physicians and improving the lives of an underserved patient population. The excitement for our new peripheral product, Shockwave L6, was electrifying and has continued to make waves across the U.S. Shockwave IVL and Coronary IVL became listed by SCAI as a potential therapy option across all U.S. cath labs regardless of surgical backup status. As always, we were further confirming the efficacy and safety of Shockwave IVL across different calcium morphologies through new publications. We highlight these topics and more in our latest PulsePoint Newsletter!

2022 was another big year for Shockwave and Q4 was no exception! On Twitter, the first Shockwave L6 cases were posted by physicians who participated in its limited release and it was great to see their excitement for our new large-vessel peripheral IVL catheter launching soon in the U.S.! At VIVA ‘22, Dr. Ehrin Armstrong presented the final 1,373 patient cohort data from the Disrupt PAD III Observational Study; this larger patient data set reinforces the predictability of Shockwave IVL and its ability to consistently modify calcium across vessel beds, challenging lesions and complex patients. Additionally, international calcium experts shared their real-world experiences with the safety and efficacy of coronary IVL across different calcium morphologies, including concentric, eccentric and nodular calcium. Check out that and more in the new PulsePoint Newsletter!

It was smooth sailing for Shockwave this summer! Thank you to everyone who made Q3 unforgettable; but before we get cozy for the holidays, let’s reflect on the events that made the quarter one to remember. This year’s TCT was particularly momentous, as we announced the first prospective, female-only study of coronary interventions, EMPOWER CAD. We also explored tips and tricks for IVL with guide extension catheter usage with Dr. Stephan Heo and debated different approaches to modifying nodular calcium with an expert panel. Read up on the latest Shockwave IVL peer-written publications and more in the Q3 PulsePoint Newsletter.

Despite often being more challenging to treat, female PCI patients are under-represented in published data, with no dedicated prospective studies performed on this population. To address this unmet need, Shockwave is launching EMPOWER CAD, the first prospective, female-only study of coronary interventions.

At Shockwave, we are committed to doing everything we can to narrow the PCI gender inequality gap starting with clinical evidence presented at SCAI 2022 where Coronary IVL demonstrated sustained long term clinical outcomes and excellent safety in both women and men suggesting first line use of Coronary IVL for plaque modification in female patients with calcified lesions.

Leading female interventionalists came together at SCAI 2022 to discuss what they are most excited about in the interventional space today, share key takeaways from SCAI, and discuss the female focused initiatives that will help bridge the PCI gap in gender disparities going forward. From the JSCAI expert consensus, gender focused clinical evidence highlights at SCAI, and future research to SCAI WIN initiatives, these female leaders covered it all.
