Shockwave C2 Aero System for Blocked Heart Arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new device called the Shockwave C2 Aero that uses sound waves to break up hardened plaque in blocked heart arteries before placing a stent. It aims to help patients with coronary artery disease have better outcomes during their heart procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old
- You have coronary artery disease (blocked arteries in your heart) and need a procedure called PCI to open them
- Your doctor plans to use the Shockwave C2 Aero device and place a stent in your artery as part of your standard care
- You can take blood-thinning and antiplatelet medications (unless you have a known reason you cannot)
- You can tolerate contrast dye (the fluid used during heart imaging), or your risk can be managed with medication
- You are willing to attend follow-up visits and comply with study procedures

This study tests a new way to break up hard calcium deposits in heart arteries using shock waves (lithotripsy), with or without a special drill (rotational atherectomy), before placing a stent. It may help people with severely calcified blockages that are hard to treat with standard methods.
This trial tests a new balloon catheter that uses sound waves to break up hard calcium blockages in heart arteries. It may be an option for people with stable chest pain or who have recovered from a recent heart attack, and who have a single, tough blockage.
This study tests a new catheter device (ShockPulse-10) that uses shockwaves to crack calcium in heart arteries before placing a stent. It is designed for people with hard, calcified blockages that are difficult to treat with balloons alone.
This trial tests a new device that uses sound waves to break up calcium deposits in heart arteries before placing a stent. It is for people with severely hardened arteries that are hard to treat with standard methods.
This trial tests a special balloon that uses shock waves to crack calcium in heart arteries, making it easier to place a stent. It is for people with chest pain or signs of heart strain due to a single, severely blocked artery with dense calcium.
This study tests a device approach called Shockwave IVL followed by a drug-coated balloon to treat hard, calcified coronary (heart) artery blockages. It may help improve how well the artery stays open after treatment.
