Sound Evidence for Your Peripheral Calcium Strategy

At Shockwave, we’re committed to the creation of sound clinical evidence to support the adoption and long-term utilization of our technology. This includes a balance of high-quality Shockwave-sponsored and investigator-initiated research studies to advance the knowledge of our technology’s performance in daily practice.

Shockwave-sponsored DISRUPT PAD Clinical Program

pad i
Single-arm, pre-market European study demonstrating the safety and performance of IVL as standalone therapy in heavily calcified, fem-pop lesions and followed to 6 months.
pad ii
Post-market, European registry examining the ongoing safety and performance of peripheral IVL as standalone therapy in heavily calcified fem-pop lesions followed out to 12 months.
pad iii
A prospective, randomized, multicenter, study to evaluate the benefit of IVL combined with drug-coated balloons vs standalone DCB in heavily calcified fem-pop lesions followed out to 24 months. It is also includes an all-comers registry arm to assess the real-world acute performance of IVL in lower extremities, including iliac, femoral, fem-pop, popliteal infrapopliteal lesions.
disrupt btk
Post-market, European study to assess the safety and effectiveness of IVL in heavily calcified infrapopliteal lesions out to 30 days.
