The Shockwave IVL catheter is placed against a calcified blockage in the artery; An electrical discharge from the catheter emitters vaporizes the liquid within the balloon, creating a rapidly expanding and collapsing bubble that generates sonic pressure waves, or shock waves

Our fast-moving team is developing intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) systems for calcific artery disease, a market valued at over $10B. Balloon catheter platform designed for today’s demands. Easy-to-use system with valuable procedural feedback. Predictable sonic output with increased pulse availability.

2025年3月17日 · The Javelin Peripheral IVL catheter features new technology for modifying calcium and crossing extremely narrowed vessels in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). Shockwave says the novel, non-balloon IVL platform delivers a similar safety and efficacy profile as its legacy catheters , bolstering the device developer’s market-leading ...

Indications for Use—The Shockwave Medical IVL System with the Javelin Peripheral IVL Catheter is intended for lithotripsy-enabled modification and crossing of calcified lesions in the peripheral vasculature, including the iliac, femoral, ilio-femoral, popliteal, and infra-popliteal arteries, prior to final treatment. Not for use in the ...

2025年4月8日 · Abbott acquired an IVL program in 2023 as part of its $890 million takeover of Cardiovascular Systems and received approval to start a trial in the U.S. last month. Abbott’s device uses a balloon to widen parts of the arteries that are narrowed by calcium. Similarly, Bolt was working on a balloon catheter when it accepted Boston Scientific ...

2025年3月4日 · Combined with Shockwave E8, Shockwave L6, Shockwave M5+, and Shockwave S4 IVL catheters, the addition of the Shockwave Javelin Peripheral IVL catheter offers physicians a comprehensive IVL portfolio to treat challenging calcified lesions above and below the knee across the entire peripheral anatomy.

The Shockwave Javelin Peripheral IVL Catheter is a proprietary lithotripsy device delivered through the peripheral arterial system of the lower extremities to the site of an otherwise difficult to treat calcified

Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) is an interventional procedure that utilizes a fluid-filled catheter connected to power sources that generate acoustic shock waves; the shock waves modify calcified plaque in peripheral arteries.

2024年11月15日 · Shockwave Medical introduced two new intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) catheters at TCT 2024 for the treatment of peripheral artery disease (PAD) and critical limb ischemia (CLI). The Javelin is a new non-balloon based IVL platform with a forward-facing emitter for treating tight lesions and chronic total occlusions (CTOs).

2024年11月4日 · Shockwave shared the first clinical outcomes associated with its Javelin peripheral intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) catheter system. It designed this novel, non-balloon-based lithotripsy platform to modify calcium and cross extremely narrowed vessels in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD)..
