Prof. Javier Escaned, Hospital Universitario Clínico San Carlos, Madrid, and Prof. James Spratt, St George’s University Hospital NHS Trust, London, discussed with Cardiovascular News their views about the latest data from the pooled analysis of 262 patients enrolled in OCT sub-studies from Disrupt CAD I, II, III, & IV.

Dr. Benjamin Honton, Interventional Cardiologist at Clinique Pasteur, Toulouse, France, together with Dr. Jacques Monsegu, Groupe Hospitalier Mutualiste de Grenoble, France, write about best practices for IVL use in the cath lab based on his 3 years of experience with the technology. In this review you will find IVL technical, scientific and clinical overview, such as lesion selection with focus on concentric and eccentric calcification, analysis of specific clinical indications and some useful tips for crossing and therapy delivery.

In the latest ChalkTalk podcast, we’re going to listen in on a sponsored discussion that took place with TCTMD during TCT21 about new insights on the latest Coronary IVL data that was presented during the meeting with Drs. Ajay Kirtane, Alexandra Lansky, Matthew Price, and Ziad Ali. Hope you enjoy the conversation and for more information on the data, please visit LetsGetCracking.com.

We’ve all heard that Shockwave IVL doesn’t work in eccentric calcium… well that’s just a myth. Watch Prof. Andrew Holden’s presentation from CIRSE21 as he walks you through IVL’s eccentric vs concentric lesion data subset from the PADIII Observational Study and learn how this myth can well and truly be dispelled.

Eccentric calcium has challenged current modalities’ ability to adequately modify calcium due to several device-dependent factors. NC balloons often expand the healthy, non-calcified side of the artery, while high pressure or cutting balloons may result in disruption or dissection of healthy intima. Even atherectomy devices are limited due to wire bias that may often result in nonuniform ablation of calcium leaving the calcified plaque untouched.

If an image is worth a thousand words, then we’d have to write a novel to capture all of the key takeaways from the 300 OCT images (i.e. pre-IVL, post-IVL & post-DES) that were taken from the 100 patients that participated in the Disrupt CAD III OCT sub-analysis. Thankfully, we ditched the novel and opted for an easy-to-digest infographic to capture the 10 most pertinent data points from the OCT study presented at TCT Connect. Happy viewing!

Eccentric calcium has always been a ‘pain’…a real thorn in the interventionalists’ side. While current devices in eccentric calcium often expand the healthy, non-calcified side of the artery or fall subject to wire bias that prevents it from reaching the calcified side of the artery, coronary Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) offers a new alternative that can modify both concentric and eccentric calcium equally as well. Don’t be satisfied with less than ideal stent expansion in eccentric calcium, instead learn how Dr. Margaret McEntegart has used IVL to modify eccentric calcium in the left main and hear Profs. Holger Nef & Carlo Di Mario share their recent publications and clinical data comparing IVL outcomes in eccentric and concentric calcified lesions.
