Moderated Poster, TCT 120: OCT Characterization of Shockwave IVL for Treatment of Calcified Coronary Lesions: Patient-level Pooled Analysis of the Disrupt CAD OCT Sub-studies, Ziad A. Ali, TCT 2021.

Conclusions from the OCT Pooled Analysis in Concentric Lesions

  • The present individual patient data pooled analysis of 4 studies (N=262) represents the largest evaluation of IVL by OCT
  • No serious angiographic complications were observed confirming the safety of IVL for the treatment of severely calcified coronary lesions
  • OCT demonstrated extensive calcium fracture after IVL treatment with excellent stent expansion of severely calcified lesions
  • Visible calcium fracture and calcium characteristics were not predictors of stent expansion following treatment with IVL

We're excited about IVL's potential in aortic stenosis, too!

But, right now we're in the early phases of the R&D program. In the meantime, don't miss the IVL application that heart teams are embracing already — maintaining transfemoral TAVR access through heavily calcified iliacs by using IVL.
