Event or Problem Description

This event was reported to shockwave via the disrupt pad japan study.Angiography and intravascular ultrasound (ivus) identified stenotic lesions in the superficial femoral artery (sfa) and anterior tibial artery (ata) with severe calcification; a filtrap ii 8.0 mm filter was placed in the popliteal artery because residual stenosis >50% was anticipated after ballooning.Sfa treatment included jetstream atherectomy (2.4/3.4 mm), ivus-guided detection of partial thrombus with subsequent aspiration, followed by plain old balloon angioplasty (poba) (aperta nse 7.0 × 40 mm) and drug-coated balloon angioplasty (ranger 7.0 × 60 mm); the filtrap was then removed.Ata treatment involved wire exchange to vassallo 14 (300 cm), poba with a 2.0 × 40 mm balloon, and intravascular lithotripsy (shockwave 3.0 × 80 mm).A shockwave e8 peripheral intravascular lithotripsy (ivl) catheter was used to treat a severely calcified lesion in the femoropopliteal artery.A total of 400 ivl pulses were successfully delivered.Ivus revealed insufficient expansion in some areas; therefore, additional poba was performed using a #14 shiden hp 3.0 mm × 200 mm balloon.Final ivus and angiography confirmed satisfactory blood flow, and the procedure was completed.Two days after the index procedure, the subject was discharged from the clinical site.Six days after the index procedure, the subject passed away due to unknown causes.The investigator stated that the cause of death has not been determined therefore the casual relationship between the ivl catheter and the patient death cannot be assessed.There was no ivl malfunction reported.Additionally, there was no report of an adverse event that occurred during or after the procedure.

Additional information was received on 14may2026: based on the limited information available, the investigator updated the causality assessment and determined that the event was not related to the ivl generator, ivl catheter, or the procedure.The death is more likely attributable to the patient's underlying medical conditions, including critical limb ischemia, dyslipidemia, chronic kidney disease, ischemic heart disease, thoracic aortic aneurysm, abdominal aortic aneurysm, as well as the patient's age.
