Shockwave IVL Symposium at VIVA20:
Insights from the DISRUPT PAD III RCT in Severe Calcium

Key Findings

  • In the largest-ever randomized clinical trial of severely calcified peripheral lesions, IVL demonstrates superiority over PTA
  • IVL demonstrates a significant reduction in dissections and provisional stenting versus PTA
  • IVL achieves superior vessel preparation vs. PTA with lower pressure, fewer stents, less need for post-dilatation and fewer dissections
  • Disrupt PAD III randomized data confirm the consistent safety and effectiveness of IVL from previous studies in multiple vessel beds

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.
