• PATIENT ACCESS

    GENERALLY CROWDED SPACE, LARGE TEAMS, SEVERAL SPECIALTIES, AND THEREFORE DIFFICULT PATIENT ACCESS FOR THE HEART TEAM

  • COMMUNICATION

    BECAUSE OF DIFFERENT IMAGING, DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES, LIMITED COMMON LANDMARKS

  • EFFICIENCY

    BECAUSE PLANNING NEEDS TO BE SIMPLIFIED, AND, THE PROCEDURE TIME AND THE CONTRAST MEDIA AND DOSE REDUCED

    • Planning needs to be simplified because it can be complex yet is becoming a key
      requirement for safe and effective procedures
    • Procedure time needs to be reduced but the general anesthesia required
      with TEE involves:
      • High costs
      • Long recovery times
      • Greater risks for the patients
      • Difficult access to anesthesist
    • Contrast media and the dose need to be reduced because acute kidney injury is a
      frequent complication after TAVI & effects survival1

GE TECHNOLOGIES TO MEET THE CHALLENGES

Optimal platforms for cardiovascular procedures

  • VALVE ASSISTS 2(2)

    TO UNDERSTAND THE ANATOMY BEFORE THE INTERVENTION AND IMPROVE NAVIGATIONAL COMFORT

    Simplified planning

    • 0-click aorta segmentation and valve definition makes accurate valve sizing accessible to anyone
    • Direct import of planning lines in the cathlab, overlaid with X-Ray to simplify navigation

    Simple measurement tools

    • Simple sizing of the aortic valve
    • Assess potential regurgitation with exceptional contrast visualization

    Reduced procedure time

    • Image fusion of X-Ray & CT helps streamline procedures.
    • In LAAC procedures:
      -28% Procedure time3
      -25% Fluoroscopy time3

    Reduced contrast media and dose

    • Calcification enhancement improves the visualization of moving contrasted structures
    • Pre-op CT planning fused with X-Ray helps visualize device position within the anatomical environment when no anatomical landmark available

    • In TAVI procedures:
      -33% contrast media volume5
      -33% X-ray dose4

    • In LAAC procedures:
      -78% Volume of contrast media3
    MORE ABOUT TAVI

  • INTERACT VIEW X(6)

    Enhanced communication

    • Display the live X-Ray image on the Vivid™ U/S system screen
    • Precisely guide device delivery inside the 4D volume in real-time

    > Ability to see

    • anatomical details
    • functional information
    • device localization vs. anatomy

  • MICRO TEE

    REDUCED SIZE MAY REDUCE THE NEED FOR ANESTHESIA IN LAAC

    • Simplified procedures
    • Reduced patient preparation time
    • Less risk
    • Increased staff flexibility

  • VIVID™ E95(7)

    Premium 4D cardiovascular ultrasound system
    Designed to help you rise above some of today’s complex healthcare challenges

    In LAAC procedures:

    • Confirms with echocardiography the device location and evaluates compression before releasing the device

    In TMVR:

    • Assesses potential regurgitation with exceptional contrast visualization and temporal and spatial resolution
    • 4D Auto MVQ: rapid semi-automated detection of morphology of the mitral valve, including the annulus and the leaflets; storing of complete setup and the results together with the precise screen view for quality control8
    • Provides exceptional volume rates in singlebeat imaging helping to safely guide device deployment
    • FlexiSlice in-live allows the precise positioning of every single screw to be guided during the procedure

    In TTVR:

    • Provides exceptional volume rates in single beat imaging helping to safely guide device deployment
    • FlexiSlice in-live allows the precise positioning of every single screw to be guided during the procedure
    • Allows a rapid evaluation of procedural success and diagnosis of complications

  2. PCI ASSIST solution includes StentViz and StentVesselViz, features of Interventional X-ray systems Innova IGS 5, Innova IGS 6, Discovery IGS 7 and Discovery IGS 7 OR
  3. Improvement vs. same test without PCI ASSIST. IQ & visibility improvement is measured on Innova IGS 530 with phantoms using various Plexiglas thicknesses, acquisition parameters and the NEMA spoke wheel tool (ref 1), calculating the ratio of the contrast of the moving wires to the background noise level. The amount of IQ improvement related to PCI ASSIST depends on the acquisition parameters, clinical task, patient size, amount of motion in the image, anatomical location, and clinical practice.
