Existing coronary calcium algorithms are often overly complex, focus only on calcium morphology and don’t account for other factors that can strongly influence device-related patient safety. ​ Several devices are available to treat these challenging lesions, but it’s hard to know which to use and when. ​ CALC was developed as a tool to help you review the factors that inform on device selection, showing when to use #ShockwaveIVL#, with its completely different mechanism of action (MOA) and unique safety profile compared to other devices.​ Learn more: US Rx only.

🕵️‍♂️ Cracking calcium starts with the CALC checklist At the CALC Agency, every investigation is built on a structured approach: 📌 C as in Calcium morphology 📌 A as in Area of the lumen 📌 L as in Length & depth 📌 C as in Complexity & patient safety Four letters. One clear framework to help you decode calcific lesions and guide smarter, more confident decisions in complex PCI. Couldn’t make it to EuroPCR?

Designed specifically for the challenges of BTK heavily calcified peripheral artery disease, #ShockwaveJavelin# modifies calcium to create a small lumen which enables further therapy to restore inline flow. Learn how this device fits into BTK interventional workflows by reading two successful case reports from Charles Bailey, MD, George Adams, MD and Vanessa Adams, BS in this Vascular Specialist article: Charles Bailey and George Adams are paid consultants of Shockwave Medical.

Safety is in our DNA and MOA. #ShockwaveIVL# delivers shockwaves that crack hard calcium without damaging soft tissue — the product of nearly a decade spent refining extracorporeal lithotripsy principles into a purpose-built vascular solution. The combination of Shockwave's acoustic waveform and energy delivery is what makes Shockwave IVL predictable safe and consistently effective.

Grass-fed butter vs conventional butter. The difference is real. Conventional butter: - From cows fed primarily grain and corn - Lower Vitamin K2 content - Less favorable fatty acid profile - Minimal CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) Grass-fed butter: - From cows eating their natural diet - Significantly higher Vitamin K2 which directs calcium into bone - Higher CLA content linked to fat metabolism support - More fat-soluble vitamins A, D, and E - Notably better flavor and deeper color Same product category. Meaningfully different nutritional input. The animal diet becomes your diet.

Proper balloon preparation is an important step in every #ShockwaveIVL# procedure 🎈 Watch this step-by-step guide to balloon preparation and the instruments required to help minimize air bubbles during procedures with both peripheral and coronary Shockwave IVL devices (excluding Shockwave Javelin). Because while calcium can be challenging to treat, preparing your Shockwave IVL balloon doesn't have to be. 👉 Check the website to learn more: #BalloonPreparation# #PeripheralIVL# #CoronaryIVL# #MedEd# Filmed in a demonstration environment.
