“We report on a patient with a history of multiple central venous catheters which resulted in the development of venous occlusion and the need for the placement of their catheter in a femoral vein. Using the Surfacer System, we were able to cross the patient’s central venous occlusion and obtain central venous access which facilitated ...
The paper, published in the Journal of Vascular Access, demonstrated the ability to gain long-term vascular access without any significant complications or adverse events from the procedure with the benefit of avoiding the placement of a femoral catheter with its associated disadvantages. “This peer-reviewed paper further demonstrates the versatility the ...
” Thoracic central venous obstruction occurs in roughly 40% of patients where hemodialysis is performed via a central venous catheter.[1] While permanent arteriovenous fistulas are the preferred form of vascular access for hemodialysis patients, central venous catheters continue to serve as an important bridge to securing long-term access for life-saving ...
First clinically deployed overseas in 2019, and with many cases completed in the US in 2020, IOPS™ is used during endovascular aortic interventions and allows navigation and placement of catheters and guidewires with reduced dependence on X-ray fluoroscopy, to which it serves as an adjunct, providing high-definition 3-D color image guidance using ...
"Our customers have tested Digital SedationTM in some of their minimally invasive cardiovascular procedures (angioplasty, stenting, carotid, etc.), in the placement of catheters and implantable ports, and even in the administration of chemotherapy in day care. ...
“The Surfacer System provides a potentially life-saving approach for patients on hemodialysis and other therapies where placement of central venous catheters is required for treatment.” “The publication of the results of the SAVE-US study further adds to the clinical evidence supporting the valuable role the Surfacer System can have in helping ...
Up to 50% of AV fistulae suffer primary failure and are never used because they do not mature into a suitable dialysis access, often resulting in a delay in starting dialysis, requiring placement of an artificial dialysis catheter. Even after fistulae mature successfully, the primary failure rate is approximately 33% at 1-year and 50% at 2-years. ...
“Over the past year, we achieved our goal to reduce central line placements. Our central line utilization has been at or below the NHSN 50th percentile since June of 2016! ...
