AVS’ Toland on Next Lithotripsy Launch

“IVL in general is an enabler for physicians to do very complex procedures — it’s simple, it’s easy to use and it’s safe. So even a physician that doesn’t have a lot of experience doing complex cases can now treat patients that they previously weren’t treating,” AVS Pulse Chairman Mark Toland tells Bloomberg Intelligence, referring to calcified arterial lesions in peripheral artery disease. In this Vanguards of Health Care episode, Toland joins BI analyst Matt Henriksson to discuss how the Pulse intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) system is differentiated vs. current technology, aiming to make treatment more flexible. He also highlights clinical results from the POWER PAD II pivotal trial, the commercial strategy ahead of FDA approval, and the expanding opportunity as aging demographics drive more hardened lesions that require IVL.
