You can use any.014 wire with a 6 French guide. This easy to use technology dramatically eliminates the recoil of severe calcification in coronary arteries. The Peripheral technology dramatically reduces issues involved with large sheath delivery for TAVR, EVAR, TEVAR, Impella and Mitraclip. There are additional S4 catheters designed to minimize calcium in leg cases as well. Calcium is fractured while remaining within the media and intima of arteries creating a larger lumen at only 2-4 atmospheres of pressure. Shockwave is easy to use, takes little time for results, and has numerous studies already demonstrating great patient outcomes with an impressive safety profile.
