Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains one of the leading causes of heart disease globally, with calcified plaques in coronary arteries often making treatment more difficult. Shunmei Medical’s coronary intravascular lithotripsy catheter provides an innovative solution to this problem by breaking down calcified lesions with precision, enhancing the safety and effectiveness of coronary interventions. This advanced catheter technology is transforming the way cardiologists approach calcified plaque treatment, improving clinical outcomes and reducing the risk of complications.
Breaking Down Calcification for Safer Procedures
A key challenge in treating CAD is addressing calcified coronary plaques, which are often resistant to traditional intervention methods such as balloon angioplasty. Shunmei Medical‘s coronary intravascular lithotripsy catheter uses acoustic waves to selectively break down calcium, allowing for more efficient plaque modification. This approach not only facilitates smoother stent placement but also reduces the risk of vessel rupture or dissection—two common complications of treating calcified lesions. By effectively targeting both superficial and deep calcium deposits, Shunmei’s IVL catheter offers a safer and more predictable solution to treating complex coronary lesions.
Lower Residual Stenosis Leads to Better Long-Term Outcomes
One of the primary goals in any coronary intervention is to reduce residual stenosis—remaining blockage in the artery that can lead to restenosis or the need for additional procedures. Shunmei Medical’s coronary intravascular lithotripsy catheter stands out for its ability to achieve lower residual stenosis across different vessel types. The catheter’s advanced lithotripsy technology ensures thorough plaque modification, leading to fewer blockages and a lower chance of requiring repeat interventions. This results in better long-term outcomes for patients, with reduced risks of recurrent symptoms or the need for further treatment.
Reliable, Consistent Results for Clinical Success
Shunmei’s coronary intravascular lithotripsy catheter is engineered for reliability, delivering consistent and reproducible results in coronary procedures. The precise mechanism of action—using acoustic pulses to fragment calcium—ensures that clinicians can confidently treat even the most challenging calcified lesions. By improving procedural predictability, Shunmei’s IVL catheter enhances the overall efficiency of coronary interventions and helps reduce the likelihood of complications during and after the procedure.
Conclusion
Shunmei Medical’s coronary intravascular lithotripsy catheter is an innovative technology in the treatment of coronary artery disease, particularly for patients with calcified coronary lesions. By reducing the risks of complications, achieving lower residual stenosis, and providing reliable results, this catheter is improving both the safety and success rate of coronary interventions. With its advanced technology, Shunmei is helping to redefine coronary care, ensuring better outcomes and quality of life for patients worldwide.
