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.
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.

2021 was Shockwave’s best year yet! Although it brought challenges, with it came immense opportunities which allowed us to grow and exceed expectations. As we push on into 2022, we are excited for what the year will bring but most importantly, for the opportunities to continue to help improve patient outcomes across the globe. But before we get started, let’s review the highlights of last quarter. We released four data releases, including our 1-year results of our Coronary IVL pivotal study at TCT this year, making it a monumental event. We had some exciting peer-reviewed publications come out, enrolled the first patient in the Disrupt BTK II Study, and much more. Read the latest PulsePoint for all the updates!

Winter is coming… and fast but before we enter the final home stretch of the year, let’s recount the milestones of the recent quarter in the latest edition of the PulsePoint Newsletter. Shockwave hit the ground running this quarter by bringing on various IVL experts from across the globe to discuss all things calcium on the ChalkTalk Podcast Series. Shockwave also made headlines in CathLab Digest with several physician-authored perspectives about the role of the technology in clinical practice. And it was great to finally get back to live, in-person conferences like VIVA ’21, where the results from the first 752 patients in the Disrupt PAD III Observational Study were presented. Catch up on what you may have missed and don’t forget watch the CalciumMasterclass.com series finale!

Shockwave has been making waves this summer! As you dive into this edition of the PulsePoint Newsletter, you’ll see that JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions published a trilogy of peer-reviewed publications highlighting Shockwave’s MOA, a pooled analysis of the 4 Disrupt CAD studies, and Disrupt PAD lll. Dive deeper and you’ll discover the incredible 10-webinar series called Calcium Masterclass that was launched at the beginning of the quarter. Explore how Shockwave was granted transitional pass-through reimbursement for Coronary IVL and proposed additional payment for hospital in-patient Coronary IVL cases performed in the United States. This PulsePoint has a lot to cover – recap the rest of the events and milestones from an exciting last quarter. But as you relax on your vacation, always stay on the pulse!

PulsePoint is back! Bringing you a highlight reel of the most memorable moments, successes and key events of Q1 for both our coronary and peripheral technology. Most notably, Shockwave had a history-making moment in February of this year when we received FDA approval in the U.S. for Coronary IVL! Since then, we have seen many physicians achieving great success utilizing the technology. We also brought a new podcast, ChalkTalk, to life, and so much more we want to share with you. Check out the latest PulsePoint for the full scoop!

Acute recoil is a phenomenon in small arteries, such as those below-the-knee (BTK), when there is a significant reduction in luminal gain within just a few minutes after balloon angioplasty. Since the goal of BTK angioplasty is to maximize distal flow in order to heal wounds, recoil is a significant problem. As a result, reducing the incidence of acute recoil should be an important goal in improving BTK treatment.

This Catalyst post is the first in a new series – Clinical Corner with Suzanne Wallace – who is Shockwave’s Director of Medical Education and Scientific Communication. As a board certified nurse practitioner with a post-masters degree in family practice and master of science in nursing, specializing in emergency and critical care, Suzanne has spent the majority of her career caring for patients with cardiovascular disease. She will share her perspective and expertise on current IVL clinical topics while recapping meetings, trainings, and publications. We hope you find her insights beneficial in your daily practice! And if you ever want to get in touch with her, please feel free to reach out to her directly at swallace@shockwavemedical.com.

VIVA is always one of the best peripheral meetings every year, and we’re especially excited this year because we’ve got something new to show you: Shockwave S4.
Topics: Peripheral Conferences, Shockwave S4
The experience with Intravascular Lithotripsy in a wide variety of peripheral lesions continues to grow.
Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is the most advanced form of peripheral artery disease and often involves stenoses in calcified below-the-knee (BTK) arteries.

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.
