Shockwave Coronary Study Demonstrates Safety and Effectiveness of IVL within a Japanese Population

Key Findings

Low rates of MACE at 30-day (6.3%) and 1-year (9.4%) follow-up
High degree of procedural success (98.4%) defined by residual stenosis <50% without in-hospital MACE
No perforations, slow flow, no-reflow, or major (Type D-F) dissections
Low and remarkably consistent 30-day and 1-year Target Lesion Failure at 6.3%
