Welcome to The Catalyst
Change isn't quick. Unless it's when you experience Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) for the first time. Stay apprised of our latest news and insights while discovering how a simple and intuitive tool can be The Catalyst to change the way you think about calcium modification.
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.

This year has been “chalk” full of good vibrations at Shockwave! We launched our most efficient IVL catheter yet, the faster-pulsing Shockwave M5+, and its effects have been helping patients with calcified PAD across the globe ever since. Our data also got deeper, with the Disrupt CAD III one-year data published in JSCAI, demonstrating Coronary IVL’s excellent safety and effectiveness outcomes at 30 days out to one year. We heard from physicians like Dr. B. Clay Sizemore on using Coronary IVL in a no-surgical-backup hospital, and Dr. Alexandra Lansky regarding gender disparities in cardiovascular disease. To top it all off, Fast Company recognized Shockwave as one of the World’s Most Innovative Companies for 2022. Check out all of this and more in the latest PulsePoint Newsletter!

In episode #9 of the ChalkTalk podcast, we speak with Alexandra Lansky, MD, FACC, FAHA, FSCAI, FESC, Professor of Medicine in Cardiology, and Director of Yale Cardiovascular Clinical Research Program at Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut, about her recent gender analyses at TCT21 and SCAI22, in which she presented the respective 30-day and 1-year outcomes broken out by women vs men that were enrolled in the Disrupt CAD clinical program.
Dr. Lansky shares the genesis of the analysis - previous research showing that female atherectomy patients have an increased risk for angiographic complications than their male counterparts,[i] and sheds light on what makes coronary IVL unique from a safety perspective. She concludes by discussing the recent publication of SCAI’s “Expert Consensus Statement on Sex-Specific Consideration in Myocardial Revascularization” in JSCAI, which referenced the role of IVL in female patients. The SCAI guidelines concluded, “while additional evidence is needed, these results taken in the context of outcomes with atherectomy devices suggest that IVL may emerge as a first-line therapy for plaque modification of calcified lesions in women specifically.”

In a few weeks, we are headed to a city known for its sunshine and southern hospitality, Atlanta, Georgia, where SCAI 2022 is taking place this year. At the conference, leading calcium experts will share the 1-year results from the Randomized Disrupt PAD III Trial and 1-year sex specific outcomes with Coronary IVL.

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.
