Outflow
This artery below the SFA is considered a " do not stent zone. "
What is the popliteal artery?
This disease process can cause higher rates of vessel recoil and reduced vessel expansion.
What is calcification?

When circulating this is the first step when setting up the Shockwave Generator.
What is hitting the power button?
The buildup of fatty plaque in the arteries is known as this disease state.
What is atherosclerosis?
The presence of _________ is associated with poor clinical outcomes and increases patient lesion complexity?
What is Calcium?
Which type of lesion (eccentric or concentric calcium) will need more pulses delivered to have the desired outcome with Shockwave?
What is eccentric?
Each pulse of Shockwave delivers an effective pressure of approximately _____ atm
What is 50 atm?
What is the Shockwave catheter?
21-23 inches is the average length of this artery.
PAD is most common in patients older than _____.

This device can be used in calcified subintimal occlusions.
What is Shockwave
For the C2,C2+, M5+, and S4 catheters, what is the treatment pressure?

This is the first step if an ERROR occurs on the generator screen
Turn the generator power off.
This is the main risk factor for PAD.
What is Smoking?
Other risk factors include advanced age, diabetes, HCL, HTN, heart disease and stroke.
Advanced Age, Type I &II Diabetes, and Kidney disease are all contributing factors for what disease?
This disease process can increase rates for dissections, impede optimal drug update in vessels, increase risk for distal embolization, and increase amputation rates.
