SEISMIQ™ 4CE Coronary Intravascular Lithotripsy Catheter​

CAUTION: Investigational device. Limited by US law to investigational use only. Not available for sale. ​

SEISMIQ 4CE (pronounced 'force') is a novel intravascular lithotripsy catheter used in patients undergoing PCI for the treatment of coronary artery disease with severely calcified lesions. This product is currently being evaluated for safety and efficacy in the FRACTURE IDE Trial. ​

Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL)

Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) is a catheter‑based therapy designed to treat patients with calcified coronary artery disease. IVL delivers acoustic pressure waves inside a balloon to fracture hardened calcium, restore vessel compliance, and enable effective lesion preparation prior to definitive therapy, such as treating with a stent.​

Laser‑based IVL takes traditional IVL a step further. By using focused laser energy and a quad-emitter design to generate acoustic pressure waves within the balloon, SEISMIQ 4CE is designed to deliver precise, consistent calcium modification—helping physicians prepare complex lesions with greater control while minimizing the need for high-pressure dilation.

Clinical highlights

FRACTURE IDE Trial​

The FRACTURE IDE Trial aims to assess the safety and efficacy of SEISMIQ 4CE, a novel intravascular lithotripsy catheter, in patients undergoing PCI for the treatment of coronary artery disease with severely calcified lesions. 

The FRACTURE IDE Trial has completed enrollment, and clinical data will be shared here after it is released at EuroPCR on May 19, 2026.
