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!

But, right now we're in the early phases of the R&D program. In the meantime, don't miss the IVL application that heart teams are embracing already — maintaining transfemoral TAVR access through heavily calcified iliacs by using IVL.
