On September 19, 2025, AdventHealth Tampa successfully enrolled its first patient in the Tectonic CAD Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) Trial, led by Dr. Mahmaljy and his team.
This IDE clinical trial evaluates Abbott’s Coronary IVL System, an innovative technology that uses sound pressure waves to break up severe calcium deposits in coronary arteries before stent placement. The system represents a promising advancement in the treatment of complex coronary artery disease.
A sincere thank you to the entire team for their dedication and enthusiasm in supporting this important research initiative.
