" First , the clinical team drove strong enrollment in our pivotal clinical study to obtain an atherectomy indication . Second , we advanced our engineering efforts to develop more robust , deliverable DABRA catheters and we continue to expect to submit an application to the FDA next quarter seeking regulatory clearance for the first next - gen catheter . Third , I continue to be excited about our research work showing the DABRA laser system can be utilized to create shockwaves of sufficient magnitude to fracture calcium in arteries , commonly referred to as intravascular lithotripsy , which we believe represents a potential to create significant shareholder value .
