It was smooth sailing for Shockwave this summer! Thank you to everyone who made Q3 unforgettable; but before we get cozy for the holidays, let’s reflect on the events that made the quarter one to remember. This year’s TCT was particularly momentous, as we announced the first prospective, female-only study of coronary interventions, EMPOWER CAD. We also explored tips and tricks for IVL with guide extension catheter usage with Dr. Stephan Heo and debated different approaches to modifying nodular calcium with an expert panel. Read up on the latest Shockwave IVL peer-written publications and more in the Q3 PulsePoint Newsletter.
