Objective:
To assess the cumulative safety and effectiveness of the Shockwave Medical Coronary IVL System for the treatment of severely calcified lesions in coronary arteries
Key inclusion criteria:
Primary safety endpoint:
Freedom from major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) at 30 days
Primary effectiveness endpoint:
Procedural success, defined as stent delivery with residual in-stent stenosis ≤30% as assessed by the angiographic core laboratory and without in-hospital MACE

Shockwave Medical is the only Wavemaker with published post-IVL procedural outcomes demonstrating the first-in-class safety of Shockwave IVL.

Immediately following IVL treatment (n = 561) and post-stent (n = 628) demonstrated a low rate of flow-limiting dissections (grade D or greater) with no perforation, abrupt closure, or no-reflow events following IVL treatment. Core laboratory assessed.
Shockwave IVL increased minimal luminal diameter (MLD) and improved diameter stenosis immediately following therapy.

Core laboratory-assessed minimum luminal diameter cumulative frequency curves demonstrate an increase in minimal lumen diameter (MLD) immediately following Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) treatment with further increase post-stent. Core laboratory-assessed diameter stenosis demonstrates a significant decrease in diameter stenosis immediately following IVL treatment (p<0.0001) and post-stent (p<0.0001). For MLD and diameter stenosis measurements, pre-procedure n=625, post-IVL n=555, and post-stent n=625. Post-stent assessments of MLD and diameter stenosis include post-dilation in 94.1% of patients.
The DISRUPT CAD Pooled analysis saw no statistical difference in procedural success and 30-day MACE across geographies. 30-day MACE was driven by non-Q-wave myocardial infarction (MI).

DISRUPT CAD major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) rates at 30 days and procedural success, defined as successful stent delivery with in-stent residual stenosis ≤30% (core laboratory assessed) without in-hospital MACE, demonstrated consistent outcomes among the individual DISRUPT CAD studies. Heterogeneity among studies was evaluated using logistic regression with study as a fixed effect. All p values were not statistically significant, indicating consistency across the four studies for 30-day MACE (p = 0.56) and procedural success (p = 0.84).
