The better the prep, the better the outcome. Successful outcomes start with proper vessel preparation. Access best-in-class tools to modify calcium, tackle a CTO, and achieve optimal luminal gain. With Modern PCI tools, your treatment is primed for a smooth delivery and lasting outcomes.
Calcium is more common than you think and making the proper assessment of coronary arteries is critical to lasting outcomes. Studies show that moderate to severe calcium creates a significantly higher chance of complications like MI, TLR, MACE and death.1 Additionally, the presence of calcium can cause complications like target vessel failure, incomplete dilation, inadequate stent expansion, and malapposition.
Better outcomes start with the right tools. Treat calcium in coronary arteries with our full spectrum of PCI tools.
% of time calcium is identified with angiography alone
% of time treatment plan changes with IVUS
With Boston Scientific’s suite of Modern PCI tools, you’ll have the best preparation to fight calcium.

WOLVERINE superior over POBA for dilation and stent preparation
New data from The COPS Trial, presented at TCT 2022 showed that WOLVERINE use in calcified lesions is safe with no significant differences in procedural complications and 1-year MACE.2 WOLVERINE demonstrated excellent procedural success (compared to POBA) with limited need for atherectomy despite a high rate of severe calcium in the study.
