The presence of calcium can pose significant challenges in achieving optimal procedural outcomes in PAD treatment and can pose as a barrier to the delivery of large bore access devices. Shockwave IVL is shifting the paradigm in the way physicians approach calcium by simplifying procedures in an efficacious and safe manner. Now the next generation of peripheral IVL technology is here: Shockwave M 5+! The Shockwave M5⁺extends treatment options with the introduction of its new features; faster pulsing, an extended working length and expanded size matrix.

Q&A with Dr. Chandan Devireddy on the use of IVL to facilitate transfemoral TAVR in calcified iliacs

Posted by Emma Miller on Sep 3, 2019 10:00:00 AM

At the EPIC-SEC conference in May 2019, Dr. Chandan Devireddy performed a live case using Shockwave IVL in advance of a TAVR procedure. He tweeted about the procedure and has offered to share some additional context about the specific case, as well as the potential impact of IVL to facilitate transfemoral TAVR in the presence of calcified iliac access in general.
