The acquisition aims to expand access to the treatment for patients with calcified arterial disease, a leading contributor to cardiovascular disease. When calcium hardens within arteries, it restricts blood flow and increases the risk of heart attack and stroke. AVS developed the Pulse IVL System, which uses hydraulic pulse waves delivered through a balloon catheter to break apart calcium buildups within arteries. After fragmenting the calcium, the balloon expands the artery to restore blood flow. “When arteries become hardened by calcium, it can make treatment more challenging and limit how well we’re able to restore blood flow,” Dr. Hitinder Gurm, Park Willis III Legacy Professor in Cardiovascular Medicine, professor of internal medicine and chief medical officer at UM Health, said in the announcement. “What’s promising about Pulse IVL is that it’s designed to break up calcium in a way that helps the artery open more effectively and potentially improve outcomes for patients with...",
