The number of shockwaves matter, especially in eccentric calcium. The CVPath cadaver pulse management study continues to showcase #ShockwaveIVL’s distinct mechanism of action and resulting efficacy in severe calcium.
Live from #EuroPCR, hear Dr @SBasavarajaiah and Shockwave CMO Dr Nick West discuss how this is impactful for clinical decision making.

The CVPath cadaver pulse management study presentation by Dr Sandeep Basavarajaiah (@SBasavarajaiah) at #EuroPCR confirmed a dose dependency for the delivery of #ShockwaveIVL, which varied across calcium morphology:
➡️ In concentric calcium, fractures were seen in higher numbers and earlier on
➡️ In eccentric calcium, Shockwave IVL created consistent increases in fractures measured after additional pulses

There are no shortcuts through calcium. When CVPath compared cutting ballons, ultra-high pressure balloons and #CoronaryIVL in 17 cadaveric calcified lesions, they found that #ShockwaveIVL consistently produced the most calcium fractures with the least amount of medial injury by lesion and across concentric and eccentric calcium arcs. This is because safety is in our DNA and MOA.

Hey everyone! I’m Laysa Ohanna, Thoracic & Urologic Pathology Fellow at @ArgosPatologia.
This is my space to share the journey: interesting cases, gross & micro tips, IHC insights, and the real day-to-day of fellowship life🔬.
Follow along — it's going to be a great ride! 🚀
