In the dynamic landscape of modern medicine, technological advancements continuously reshape diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, fostering innovation and improving patient outcomes. Within this realm, the adoption of fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) and perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) tubing has emerged as a game-changer, revolutionizing various medical procedures across diverse specialties. Let's ...
Incomplete stent expansion and malapposed stent struts are a predictor of subacute and late stent thrombosis. Appropriate lesion preparation prior to stent implantation is necessary to assure complete stent expansion and stent strut apposition. This is of particular importance in challenging lesions, in particular those with calcific plaque. The goal of the pre-dilatation is to obtain optimal ...

“The technology is similar to GPS, in that it uses coordinates derived from prior imaging to guide navigation,” explains Dr. Caputo. He says an approach like IOPS ultimately has potential to supplant fluoroscopy as the standard of care for visualization during EVAR procedures. “Not only does this system help guide accurate placement of ...
February 1, Prague/ Udalosti. The epidemic called “Chronic Heart Failure” affects up to half a million Czechs. An innovation being tested at Prague’s Na Homolce Hospital could be a turning point in the care of these patients. A special implant adjusts the shape of the left ventricle, which may allow the heart to work better and may stop the progression of the ...
