Sponsored by Elixir Medical
Spokesperson:
J. Escaned
Summary
This session introduces the novel Hertz Contact intravascular lithotripsy system, designed for effective calcium fragmentation without trade-offs. It covers lesion types amenable to treatment, system mechanism, optimization tips, and discusses real-world cases along with supporting clinical trial evidence.
Learning Objectives
- To understand types of severe calcified lesions that can be successfully treated with Hertz Contact intravascular lithotripsy including eccentric and nodular
- To learn about Hertz Contact intravascular lithotripsy system, mechanism of action and tips and tricks to optimise calcium modification
- To participate in didactic discussion of real world cases and clinical trials evidence supporting Hertz Contact-intravascular lithotripsy
