First seen Apr 10, 2026 · Last updated Jun 20, 2026 · Updated 10 times
Summary
This study tests a new device called the Shockwave C2 Aero, which uses sound waves to break up calcium deposits in heart arteries before placing a stent. About 200 people with coronary artery disease will be enrolled across 8 U.S. sites. The goal is to see if the device works safely and effectively in real-world settings.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Shockwave C2 Aero Coronary Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) System (a device that uses sound waves to break up calcium in heart arteries)
What this could lead to
If successful, this device could offer a safer, more effective way to treat heavily calcified coronary arteries, potentially reducing complications and improving long-term heart health.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (200 people) without a comparison group, so results may not apply to everyone. Risks include artery damage, heart attack, or the device failing to work as intended.
Conditions
The condition(s) this trial relates to.
As listed by the trial registrant
