Single de novo target lesion stenosis of protected LMCA, or LAD, RCA or LCX (or of their branches) 11. The target vessel reference diameter must be ≥2.5 mm and ≤4.0 mm 12. The target lesion must meet one of the following criteria: 1. Target lesion stenosis >90% up to 40 mm in length and evidence of moderate or severe calcification at the lesion site.

Chronic total occlusion presenting with J-CTO score of 1 with evidence of calcification and occlusion length up to 20 mm. 13. Guidewire must be in true lumen, distal to the lesion, and not subintimal, prior to insertion of Shockwave Javelin Coronary IVL catheter (antegrade wire technique only) General

Exclusion Criteria

Subject is participating in another research study involving an investigational agent including pharmaceutical, biologic, or medical device that has not reached the primary endpoint 3. Subject is pregnant or nursing (a negative pregnancy test is required for women of child-bearing potential within 7 days prior to enrollment) 4. Unable to tolerate antiplatelet/anticoagulation therapy per society guidelines 5. Subject has an allergy to imaging contrast media which cannot be adequately pre-medicated 6. Subject experienced an acute STEMI within 30 days prior to index procedure 7. New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III or IV heart failure 8. Subject has acute or chronic renal disease with eGFR <30 ml/min/1.73m2 (using institutional formula) 9. History of a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) within 60 days, or any prior intracranial hemorrhage or permanent neurologic deficit 10. Active peptic ulcer or upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding within 3 months 11. Untreated pre-procedural hemoglobin <10 g/dL or intention to refuse blood transfusions if one should become necessary 12. Coagulopathy, including but not limited to platelet count <100,000 or International Normalized ratio (INR) >1.7 (INR is only required in subjects who have taken warfarin within 2 weeks of enrollment) 13. Subject has a hypercoagulable disorder such as polycythemia vera, platelet count >750,000 or other disorders 14. Subject has an active systemic infection on the day of the index procedure with either fever, leukocytosis or requiring intravenous antibiotics 15. Subjects with clinical evidence of cardiogenic shock 16. Uncontrolled severe hypertension (systolic BP >180 mm Hg or diastolic BP >110 mm Hg) 17. Subjects with an estimated life expectancy of less than 1 year 18. Non-coronary interventional or surgical structural heart procedures (e.g., TAVR, MitraClip, LAA or PFO occlusion, etc.) within 30 days prior to the index procedure 19. Planned non-coronary interventional or surgical structural heart procedures (e.g., TAVR, MitraClip, LAA or PFO occlusion, etc.) within 30 days after the index procedure 20. Subject refusing or not a candidate for emergency coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery 21. Planned use of atherectomy, scoring or cutting balloon, sub-intimal reentry device, or any investigational device other than coronary IVL Angiographic Exclusion Criteria 22. Unprotected left main diameter stenosis >30% 23. Evidence of a serious angiographic complication in the target vessel prior to treatment with coronary IVL (dissection, perforation, abrupt closure, persistent slow-flow or persistent no reflow) 24. Definite or possible thrombus by angiography in the target vessel 25. Evidence of aneurysm in target vessel within 10 mm of the target lesion 26. Second lesion with >50% stenosis in the same target vessel as the target lesion including its side branches 27. Chronic total occlusion of the target lesion, J-CTO ≥2 28.

Shockwave Javelin Coronary IVL Catheter
The Shockwave Javelin Coronary IVL Catheter will be used to treat subjects with moderate-to-severely calcified, stenotic de novo coronary artery lesions presenting with stable angina or following stabilization after acute coronary syndrome (ACS) that are suitable for non-emergent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
  • Device: Intravascular Lithotripsy
    The Shockwave Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) System with the Shockwave Javelin Coronary Catheter is intended to treat calcified stenosis, including calcified stenoses that are anticipated to exhibit resistance to balloon crossing, full dilatation or subsequent uniform coronary stent expansion.

Detailed Description

The Shockwave Javelin Coronary IVL Catheter was developed to address the current challenges clinicians face when treating tight, difficult to cross, calcified coronary lesions and was designed as a rapid exchange catheter to deliver intravascular lithotripsy to those complex lesions in the coronary vasculature. The intended benefit of the Shockwave Javelin Coronary IVL Catheter is to allow the catheter to modify calcium in tight, difficult to cross lesions to increase the compliance of the vessel and allow further crossing of the device or additional treatment at the discretion of the physician. Up to 158 subjects (150 evaluable) subjects with moderate-to severely calcified, stenotic de novo, coronary artery lesions presenting with stable or following stabilization after acute coronary syndrome (ACS) that are suitable for non-emergent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) will be enrolled at up to 35 sites.
