In this supplement:
- Maria Antonella Ruffino (Lugano, Switzerland) explains how the Shockwave E8 and Shockwave Javelin peripheral intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) technologies are reshaping outcomes for patients with chronic limb-threatening ischaemia (CLTI).
- Bruno Migliara (Peschiera del Garda, Italy) views the Shockwave E8 as an essential part of his treatment algorithm for complex calcified lesions in patients with below-the-knee (BTK) CLTI, here sharing a case report demonstrating his clinical experience with the device.
- Marta Lobato and August Ysa (Barakaldo, Spain) present a case in which the Shockwave E8 played a key role in treatment success, noting that the device “significantly broadens the therapeutic landscape” for patients with diffuse BTK and below-the-ankle (BTA) disease.
- Ashish Patel and Narayanan Thulasidasan (London, UK) believe that the Shockwave Javelin “bridges a critical gap” in the management of CLTI in patients with complex multilevel disease, outlining a case where the catheter offered a solution for “device-uncrossable” calcium.
