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!
