Use of Calcium Modification During Percutaneous Coronary Intervention After Introduction of Coronary Intravascular Lithotripsy1

 

Coronary IVL is now the most frequently used coronary calcium modification strategy for treatment of calcified coronary lesions. An analysis of the National Cardiovascular Data Registry CathPCI Registry demonstrates a steady, significant increase in usage since the device's U.S. commercial launch in 2021, showcasing a previous unmet need for a safe, effective and intuitive calcified lesion preparation strategy.

SCAI Expert Consensus Statement on the Management of Calcified Coronary Lesions2

 

Coronary IVL has been included as a device consideration in a SCAI treatment algorithm for concentric, eccentric, focal and nodular coronary calcification. In a first-of-its kind expert consensus statement, the The Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) reinforces coronary IVL's consistent, clinically-demonstrated efficacy regardless of calcium morphology.3, 4 In addition, the experts conclude that coronary IVL can be used synergistically with atherectomy devices, especially in balloon uncrossable lesions or longer lesions with heterogeneous calcium and vessel size.
