Post-market, European registry examining the ongoing safety and performance of coronary IVL in heavily calcified coronary lesions up to 30 days in more centers and more patients.
Explore CAD II
cad iii
A prospective, multicenter, single-arm, investigational device exemption (IDE) study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Shockwave Coronary IVL System taking place in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany and France. The goal of this study is to generate the data needed to obtain FDA approval for use of coronary IVL in the United States.
