Follow the journey of Prof. James Spratt, a specialist in complex PCI and education, as he moves from early IVL adopter to expert in the technology. ChalkTalk episode four captures how Prof. Spratt, from St. George’s Hospital, University of London, first discovered Shockwave and why he now believes the technology is disruptive in the calcium space. Spratt describes how focusing on Optima education and practicing interventional cardiology helped get him to where he is today. Being an expert in the field, Spratt recognized the need for simplifying calcium education, which became the foundation that Shockwave and Optima's Calcium Masterclass was built upon. Hear more from Prof. James Spratt by tuning into the remaining Calcium Masterclasses!

Shockwave has been making waves this summer! As you dive into this edition of the PulsePoint Newsletter, you’ll see that JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions published a trilogy of peer-reviewed publications highlighting Shockwave’s MOA, a pooled analysis of the 4 Disrupt CAD studies, and Disrupt PAD lll. Dive deeper and you’ll discover the incredible 10-webinar series called Calcium Masterclass that was launched at the beginning of the quarter. Explore how Shockwave was granted transitional pass-through reimbursement for Coronary IVL and proposed additional payment for hospital in-patient Coronary IVL cases performed in the United States. This PulsePoint has a lot to cover – recap the rest of the events and milestones from an exciting last quarter. But as you relax on your vacation, always stay on the pulse!

PulsePoint is back! Bringing you a highlight reel of the most memorable moments, successes and key events of Q1 for both our coronary and peripheral technology. Most notably, Shockwave had a history-making moment in February of this year when we received FDA approval in the U.S. for Coronary IVL! Since then, we have seen many physicians achieving great success utilizing the technology. We also brought a new podcast, ChalkTalk, to life, and so much more we want to share with you. Check out the latest PulsePoint for the full scoop!
