How IFIX Can Help With Contrast Shortage
Why is there a shortage of CT contrast? The COVID-19 pandemic continues to be the root cause of disruptions in the global supply chain. This time, it led to the temporary shutdown of a production facility in Shanghai, creating a severe shortage of iodinated contrast media (ICM) and affecting imaging facilities – especially in the US, with the American Hospital Association expressing its ...

Artio’s Amplifi System Treatment Before AVF Creation Studied in FIH Procedures
October 6, 2021—Surendra Shenoy, MD, presented findings from a first-in-human (FIH) evaluation of the Amplifi vein dilation system (Artio Medical, Inc.), which is a small, wearable blood pump device that dilates arm veins before arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation. Amplifi is designed to improve AVF eligibility, reduce maturation failure, reduce time to maturation, and prolong primary ...

Advantages of using Spine 3D(CT-based) Navigation in complex Spine Surgeries
To confidently perform a spinal fusion and screw fixation with excellence surgical navigation is consistently used as a powerful tool. Surgical Navigation provides real-time guidance and precise measurements for accurately placing the pedicle screws to help stabilize the spine. A preoperative CT scan gives a detailed visualization of the structure decreasing the potential for implant-related ...

Cleveland Clinic: First Case Completed in Feasibility Study of Non-Radiation-Based EVAR Navigation Platform
MOTION study will quantify new technology’s impact on radiation exposure In December, Cleveland Clinic vascular surgeons successfully completed the first surgical case in the MOTION clinical trial of a new non-radiation-based surgical navigation platform for endovascular aortic interventions. The trial is a feasibility study of the Intra-Operative Positioning System (IOPS™) from ...

Enhanced precision & Reduced radiation
A surgical C-arm and an Optical Navigation system works together in synergy to facilitate a Spinal surgery platform. Continuous guidance of surgical tools relative to any pre and intra-operatively acquired 2D and 3D datasets assures reduced operative time, less radiation, and enhanced precision. Why should you consider easyNav for C-arm integration? Calibration and Navigation of other ...

A Revolution of EVAR Imaging Technologies
Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has dramatically evolved over the past 2 decades—from relatively simple tubular endografts to extraordinarily complex branched endografts that allow endovascular coverage from the sinotubular junction through the iliac bifurcation. With this increasing complexity of repairs, parallel improvements in imaging and navigation technologies have ensued. These ...

Results support feasibility of entirely extracardiac, minimally invasive, temporary pacing system
New results support the feasibility of an entirely extracardiac pacing method in a heterogeneous patient population, using a minimally invasive, parasternal delivery approach, with adequate sensing and thresholds suited for temporary pacing. The study, authored by Anne-Floor BE Quast, Niek EG Beurskens (University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands) and colleagues, was recently published in ...

HRS 2017: New implantable string subcutaneous defibrillator shows promise for sudden cardiac death prevention
The use of a novel implantable string subcutaneous defibrillator (ISSD, Newpace) that has no can, and has been designed to be placed without the need for a surgical pocket, may allow improved patient compliance and aesthetics, is less invasive, and has optimal implantation time. The results from a first-in-man feasibility study on subcutaneous defibrillation utilising an integrated flexible ...

Analysis of breast cancer in the Massachusetts TB fluoroscopy cohort and in the Japanese A-bomb survivors, taking account of dosimetric error and curvature in the A-bomb dose response: absence of evidence of reduction of risk following fractionated i
Breast cancer has occurred in excess among women exposed briefly to atomic bomb radiation and among those exposed repeatedly over many years to medical radiation for tuberculosis (TB). The breast cancer excess is strongly dependent on age at exposure, with risk highest among the young and small or non-existent when exposure occurs past the menopausal ages. The linear excess relative risk ...
