The Shockwave C2 Aero successfully crossed a tortuous proximal LAD and the RCA CTO with minimal guidewire or catheter support, demonstrating strong lesion crossing capability in challenging anatomy.<\/p>\n<h3>Overcoming Failed Stent Delivery<\/h3>\n<p>Although noncompliant balloons were able to cross both lesions, initial stent delivery attempts were unsuccessful\u2014highlighting the limitations of conventional approaches in heavily calcified lesions.<\/p>\n<h3>Enabling Stent Delivery with Calcium Modification<\/h3>\n<p>Following calcium modification with Shockwave C2 Aero, stent delivery was achieved. Final imaging confirmed strong stent expansion with a high minimal stent area (MSA), supporting a favorable procedural outcome and positive patient prognosis.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Watch the full case review to see how Shockwave C2 Aero improves crossability, enables stent delivery, and optimizes outcomes in complex calcified coronary lesions.<\/p>\n<div class=\"video\"><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Sy9oNpkt9nk?si=CwwKqNsRMqlNt7vX\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span class=\"legal_copy\">Dr. Wanamaker is a paid consultant of Shockwave Medical.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"legal_copy\"><strong>Shockwave IVL:<\/strong> In the U.S.: Rx only.
