“AVS has emerged as a pioneer in an exciting and novel area in medicine, intravascular lithotripsy,” Galle said. “The team has already built significant clinical momentum with the success of the first-in-human peripheral vascular cases, and I look forward to helping to bring new solutions to the market for both peripheral and coronary therapy.”
At the recent TCT 2024 conference, AVS presented positive first in human data that supported the safety and efficacy of pulse intravascular lithotripsy. This momentum sets the stage for further groundbreaking research in calcium modification.
