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 ...
Interventional Systems announced the newest addition to Micromate™’s product suite: a planning and navigation station that will make the needle-based intervention miniature robot available for use with CT scanners. The new addition to Micromate™ makes it possible for physicians to rely on pre- and intraoperative scans to plan the intervention. These planning capabilities can ...
It’s the beginning of a new year, so it’s also time to wrap up 2021 and have a close look into what’s coming up for 2022! 2021 sure came with a mix between fear and expectation, but we’re happy to tell you there’s more more things to be happy than sad about on our end. This one is gonna take a little longer than usual but make sure to read through the whole ...
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 ...
In-vivo Evaluation Of A Novel Surgical Heart Valve Prosthesis Designed To Be Durable, Anticoagulant-free And Silent. Bart Meuris, Lucas Van Hoof, Wilm Decré, Marie Lamberigts, Tom Langenaeken, Peter Verbrugghe. KU Leuven, Leuven, Belgium. OBJECTIVE: Heart valves prostheses still face limitations: reoperations with tissue valves or lifelong anticoagulation with mechanical valves. The ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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.

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 ...
