Study Design and Patient Characteristics

Objective 

A post-market study to assess the safety and performance of the coronary Shockwave IVL system with more patients in more centers 

Primary Safety Endpoint 

In-hospital major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) (cardiac death, myocardial infarction or target vessel revascularization) 

Secondary Performance Endpoint 

Clinical and angiographic success 

Patient Characteristics Summary 

  • 72 years old 
  • 32% diabetes mellitus (DM) 
  • 3.0 mm reference vessel diameter (RVD) 
  • 60% diameter stenosis 
  • 26 mm Ca++ length 
  • 72% concentric/28% eccentric lesions 
  • 30% side branch involvement 
Stable angina, unstable angina or silent ischemia
Heavily calcified, de novo coronary lesions RVD 2.5 – 4.0 mm, stenosis ≥50%, lesion length ≤32 mm

Performance Outcomes Results
Clinical success 94.2% (113)
Angiographic success 100% (120)
Stent delivery 100% (120)

Clinical success: ability of Shockwave IVL to produce a residual diameter stenosis <50% after stenting with no evidence of in-hospital MACE. 

Final In-Stent Angiographic Outcomes (Core Lab) Results
Residual diameter stenosis, %  7.8% ± 7.1
Acute gain, mm  1.67 ± 0.49 
Residual diameter stenosis <50% 100% (120)
Residual diameter stenosis <30% 100% (120) 

Safety Outcomes Results
Final angiographic complications 0.0% (0/120)
Dissections, type D-F  0.0% (0/120)
Perforations  0.0% (0/120)

*10 MACE in 9 subjects

DISRUPT CAD II OCT Sub-Study Results
Calcium fracture, %  78.7% (37/47) 
Calcium fracture per lesion  3.4% ± 2.6 

OCT Case Example: Proximal Left Anterior Descending Artery (LAD) with Side Branch Involvement

  • Severe Ca++: >270° and >1 mm thick 
  • Ca++ fractures: Multiple locations (white arrows) 
  • Final result: Full stent expansion large acute gain
