Marker bands serve a critical function in medical imaging and interventional procedures, offering Marker bands are essential for precise visualization during medical treatments. Designed for visibility under fluoroscopic imaging, these radiopaque bands, made from materials like platinum-iridium alloy, gold, and tantalum, play a critical role in healthcare applications. They enhance accuracy in ...
Start-up Alucent Biomedical is using a light-activated molecule, delivered via a balloon catheter, to create a natural vascular scaffold in diseased peripheral vessels, with the aim of providing a long-lasting treatment option that maintains patency while leaving nothing behind in the vessel. Alucent Biomedical Inc. is rethinking peripheral artery disease (PAD) treatment with a novel natural ...
The developer of an autotransfusion device for collecting and cleaning a patient’s lost blood is sending hundreds of units to Ukraine as casualties climb from the Russian invasion. Baltimore-based Sisu Global Health has already sent 1,005 of its Hemafuse devices to hospitals in Kyiv and is planning a third shipment of 500 more any day now, co-founder and President Gillian Henker said. ...
ABSTRACT: The incidence of wartime vascular injury has increased and is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity. While ligation remains an option, current resuscitation and damage control techniques have resulted in vascular repair being pursued in more than half of wartime injuries. Options for vascular reconstruction are currently limited to autologous vein or synthetic conduits, choices ...
Watch the inspiring story of heart transplant recipient Marcus Jones. A devoted father and husband, Marcus Jones never imagined that his heart could threaten to limit his time with loved ones and cut his life short. Yet that’s exactly what happened after Marcus experienced a second aortic aneurysm, and, six months later, was well into biventricular failure. According to his wife, Cathy, ...
Micromate™ Case Report series presents real cases performed by the physicians currently using the world’s smallest robot for percutaneous procedures. Today, we join Drs. Gerlig Widmann and Martin Freund, Interventional Radiologists at the Tirol Kliniken, for a robot-guided type II endoleak embolization. Clinical Context Patient’s profile: Male patient, previously subjected ...
The “world’s first in-heart microcomputer” and an endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) suture-delivery catheter were recognized Saturday as the best innovations of CRT 2021 Virtual. The judges chose the V-LAP implantable microcomputer (Vectorious Medical Technologies Ltd.), presented by Tal Hasin, MD, of Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Jerusalem. CRT audience members voted for ...
Abstract Objective: In chronic aortic insufficiency (AI), the method and degree of annular downsizing required to achieve durable coaptation in aortic valve repair (AVr) remains poorly defined. This study evaluated the relationship between leaflet size and annular diameter to predict adequate annular sizing in remodeling AVr. Methods: Under regulatory supervision, 74 patients with chronic ...
MRI Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a diagnostic procedure that uses a combination of a very large magnet, radio waves, and a computer to produce detailed, cross-sectional, and three-dimensional images of organs and structures within the body. An MRI scan is a valuable diagnostic tool that can show injuries or other anomalies that cannot be seen in a CT scan or X-ray. For instance, soft ...
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 ...
Division of Neuroradiology, Department of Radiology University of Pennsylvania Hospital, Philadelphia, PA Purpose MR imaging is presumed hazardous in many patients with retained bullets, shot, and some aneurysm clips. Even though most bullets 1 and aneurysm clips are safe to scan, radiologists should be hesitant to perform MR in patients with metal when the composition is unknown. The purpose of ...
