Why is intravascular lithotripsy moving so quickly, and what comes next as the market expands beyond its first major success stories? In this episode of MedTech Unboxed, Steve talks with Scott about the fast-moving IVL landscape, recent market activity, and how FastWave Medical is building both coronary and peripheral IVL platforms to address major unmet needs in calcium modification.
Scott shares his perspective on the growing adoption of IVL, the strategic acquisitions shaping the space, and why the market opportunity continues to expand as physicians look for safer, simpler, and more effective ways to treat calcified lesions. The conversation also explores FastWave’s two-platform strategy, including its coronary system designed for improved crossing profile, deliverability, and more uniform energy delivery, as well as its peripheral platform moving toward US clinical milestones.
They also discuss feasibility study progress, IDE plans, reimbursement tailwinds, funding strategy, and what investors and medtech professionals should watch as IVL adoption accelerates. For medtech professionals in interventional cardiology, peripheral intervention, catheter development, and cardiovascular innovation, this episode is a practical update on one of the most active and strategically important areas in the market.
