I'm humbled to share that our recent paper published in the IJCVI: The International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging was selected by the Editor-In-Chief (Prof. Dr. med. Christoph Gräni). Our research demonstrates that the ECG-triggered Turbo Flash scan mode is highly effective for TAVR imaging, enabling detailed measurements of cardiac structures in less than one second. This method allows TAVR procedure planning by precisely covering the entire vascular access route. Simultaneously, setting the cardiac start phase at 30% of the R-R interval allows imaging of the aortic valve in end-systole with minimal radiation dose, which did not affect prosthesis sizing in most cases. Due to growing evidence for beneficial use of TAVR procedure in low-surgical risk candidates, which are often younger patients, radiation safety becomes more pressing and in that regard #DualSource #PhotonCounting #CT with spectral sensitivity, elemination of electronic noise + improved CNR is a big win !!

New review on the European Heart Journal 💻 The HeartSim research team at PrediSurge, in partnership with the University of Ottawa Heart Institute and Hôpital Saint Joseph of Marseille, has contributed a significant study to the European Heart Journal Cardiovascular Imaging, demonstrating the precision of our PlanOp® Structural Heart software in simulating Mitral Valve interventions. This work, which reflects an impact factor of 6.3, marks an important advancement in the field of cardiovascular care. Our research focused on a case study involving a 73-year-old patient, successfully treated with a Mitraclip XTL® for severe mitral regurgitation. The application of our finite element prototype software accurately predicted the outcomes of this intervention, offering a promising tool for future cardiovascular treatments. This publication underscores the potential of digital simulation technologies to improve patient outcomes and supports our ongoing commitment to innovation in healthcare: https://bit.ly/3U9ILhW 🌐 #cardiovascular #care #digital #solutions #planop #clinicians #technology #digitaltwin

Live case with Erin Murphy, MD, FACS on Thermal/Non-thermal Superficial Treatment from Sanger Heart & Vascular Institute. Moderated by Stephen Black and panelists Kush Desai, Marie Josee van Rijn & Nicos Labropoulos. There is a focus on the accommodation of a healthy vein during the procedure, emphasising the importance of ensuring the vein remains unjailed, especially at the stent edges. There are discussions about the confluence at the stent edge and ensuring that it is clear. The procedure involves pulling back in the IVC (inferior vena cava) and ensuring no lesions are present. Visual confirmation of the success of the procedure is a crucial aspect, with imaging used to assess the vein and stent positioning. They mention retrieving Ivis (Intravascular ultrasound) measurements to further validate the process. The team seems satisfied with the results, noting that the bottom part of the treatment looks good. #viocongress #vascular #venous

Dr. Paul Lewis discusses the efficiency of using a controlled pump for draining 500 milliliters of thoracentesis liquid, achieving faster results with fewer complications when compared to vacuum containers. -------- In the full episode, He shares insights on using image guidance, managing complex effusions, and managing complications such as pneumothorax and hemothorax. He also covers procedural nuances such as bilateral thoracentesis and patient positioning and highlight the efficiency of the RenovaRP Centesis System. Dr. Lewis is an interventional radiologist at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

Last week, Sean Messenger moderated the Cardiac Track at MassMEDIC MedTech Impact symposium. He discussed pulsed field ablation (PFA) as an emerging game-charger treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF), which employs electric pulses instead of heat to help in electroporation of the myocardium without collateral damage to normal heart tissue. Garnering significant attention from the cardiac ablation community, pulsed field ablation has demonstrated a significantly enhanced safety and efficacy profile compared to existing AF ablation treatments.
