TCT 2024: Nick West, MD, Discusses Shockwave Innovations
Nick West, MD, the CMO at Shockwave, discusses what stood out for him at TCT 2024. “We recently launched E8, which is a novel long balloon for use in the peripheral vasculature,” he tells interviewer Chuck Simonton, MD. “What’s even more exciting is our new Javelin technology.” He explains that Javelin, a catheter-based lithotripsy solution, launched in the peripheral space during the week of TCT. For interventional cardiologists working in the coronary space, Dr. West notes, “We are planning a Rapid Exchange version... The Rapid Exchange version will be part of the FORWARD CAD IDE, which will start in March of next year. But we’ve had some early feasibility data come in in the UK which is very encouraging.”
