A new treatment option for severely calcified coronary artery disease – breaking down deep calcium deposits with shockwaves, without damaging heart tissue.
What is IVL? IVL is an innovative technology that uses ultrasonic shockwaves to break up calcium deposits embedded deep within coronary artery walls – one of the leading causes of coronary artery blockage.
Key Advantages of IVL
- Precisely targets calcium deposits – minimizing damage to the vessel wall
- Enhances the effectiveness of coronary artery disease treatment
Benefits of IVL Treatment
- Better arterial expansion – By breaking down hard, deep calcium deposits, the artery can expand more effectively than with conventional treatments.
- Reduces risk of re-narrowing after stent placement – Ensures the stent fits more securely, lowering the risk of future blockage.
- Highly safe – Reduces the risks associated with high-pressure balloon inflation or traditional calcium – cutting devices, which can injure or tear the vessel wall.
SIMPLIFY COMPLEX PCI Making treatment simpler and safer.
- Reduces the complexity of treating heavily calcified coronary artery walls with IVL technology.
- Improves stent placement effectiveness – without surgery and without compromising the existing vessel structure.
