Shockwave E8 Case Review & Discussion with Dr. Soukas & Dr. Sayfo

In this discussion, Dr. Peter Soukas and Dr. Sameh Sayfo introduce Shockwave E8, the new peripheral IVL workhorse. They review cases and explore the benefits Shockwave E8 has to offer.

The first case features an 84-year-old patient with a non-healing wound and severely calcified below-the-knee arteries. Using E8’s longer working length and 400 pulses, they achieved significant acute lumen gain with minimal vessel trauma, demonstrating the device’s ability to navigate challenging anatomy and effectively modify calcified lesions.

The second case involves a 75-year-old patient with a sharp-angled anterior tibial artery lesion that had previously been deemed untreatable due to wire escalation failure. With Shockwave E8’s enhanced deliverability and 45 cm of hydrophilic coating, they successfully crossed the lesion and delivered therapy, restoring blood flow.
