An “IVL-First” Strategy Using 120 Pulses With the Next-Gen C2+ Shockwave Catheter
01/04/2024
Brian K. Jefferson, MD, FACC, FSCAI
"Having 40 extra pulses allows us to treat lesions that in the past might have been too diffuse or too long for single-catheter IVL use, and we also can use the extra pulses in the C2+ to treat lesions in more than one vessel," says Dr....

The PCI Gender Gap in Treating Calcified Lesions: A Paradigm Shift
08/01/2022
Suzanne J. Baron, MD, MSc, FSCAI
Since we know that inadequate lesion preparation may lead to higher rates of in-stent restenosis and stent thrombosis, it follows that intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) could help lower suboptimal PCI rates in both men and women.

Image-Guided Calcium Modification: IVL
03/04/2022
Kevin J. Croce, MD, PhD
We have been using IVL in the coronary arteries since its approval last year and have had a very pleasant experience. IVL’s ability to change the compliance of calcified lesions has been very helpful.

Management of Calcified Lesions in Hospitals Without Surgical Backup
02/04/2022
Clay Sizemore, MD, FACC, FSCAI
With the use of IVL, we are now at a point where the only cases that we have to either transfer or stage are non-crossable lesions: cases where you can get a wire but not a balloon across, and these are fairly rare.
