Q2 is in the books and it was full of electrifying news, big accomplishments and new beginnings. Of course, a major milestone was the acquisition of Shockwave Medical by Johnson & Johnson MedTech. This new journey is off to a great start and we’re excited about how this partnership will help us expand access to our life-changing technologies across the globe.
Updates from the Reducer team for our international physician partners include publishing new data that show positive news for patients suffering from Refractory Angina.* Additionally, our Size for Success training about sizing up for the best Peripheral IVL results is also gaining traction and was featured in several publications. Read the latest PulsePoint Newsletter to learn more about important milestones from Q2!

We're delighted to share an exciting product improvement of Shockwave L6 Peripheral IVL Catheter. Based on feedback from you, our physician and hospital partners, we've increased the pulsing speed of the Shockwave L6 from one to two pulses per second to mirror the faster pulsing speed you've enjoyed with Shockwave M5+.

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.

Though sizing 1:1 to the healthy RVD may be a customary approach seen in other devices like traditional balloon angioplasty, Peripheral IVL is an exception to the rule. It's recommended to oversize Peripheral IVL by 10% (a ratio of 1.1:1) to the healthy RVD because it achieves better and sustained wall apposition, which leads to more efficient energy transfer from the IVL device.(1, 2, 3)

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.

From the first U.S. Shockwave C2+ case to the unveiling of the 2023 TopShock finalists, this past quarter had a lively pulse all its own. In other news, we’re very excited to share the impressive results from the 2-year DISRUPT CAD III study of IVL for Treatment of Severely Calcified Coronary Arteries.
For our international customers, there was an excellent poster session presented during ESC Congress that featured three presentations on our Coronary Sinus Reducer*. We also launched a series of real-world application videos from VAM 2023 that highlight Shockwave L6 and the benefits of using it to tackle calcium in large vessels. Dive head first into the latest PulsePoint Newsletter to learn more about the big waves made in Q3!

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!
