As well as exhibiting its latest solutions in coronary artery disease, Philips will showcase its technologies for delivering diagnostic confidence and decision-making throughout the cardiology patient journey, including:
IntelliSpace Portal 9.0 – The latest edition of its comprehensive, advanced visual analysis and quantification platform, featuring a suite of multi-modality functions and expanded neurological tools.
DoseWise Portal 2.2 – A next-generation radiation dose management software platform allowing physicians to record, track and analyse radiation exposure to patients and clinicians.
Dynamic Coronary Roadmap – Automatic, real-time navigational guidance designed for procedure efficiency in complex PCI interventions without changing current standard workflow.

StentBoost Live – Instantaneous enhanced live visualization, to position and deploy balloons, stents and bioresorbable vascular scaffolds, reducing overall procedure time.

Additionally, at the EuroPCR session on late-breaking clinical trials today, the results of a meta-analysis of the DEFINE FLAIR and iFR Swedeheart studies were presented, indicating that one-year major adverse cardiac events (MACE) rates, when deferring treatment based on instant wave-free ratio (iFR) guidance, are not significantly different in patients presenting with either acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or stable coronary disease (SCD). The results of the meta-analysis also indicate that when deferring patients, fractional flow reserve (FFR) is associated with higher one-year MACE rates in ACS patients than in SCD patients. The pooled data indicate that an iFR-guided strategy is associated with consistent outcomes in ACS and SCD patients who were deferred from treatment in the DEFINE FLAIR and iFR Swedeheart studies.

Along with the presentation of new iFR outcome data during the show, in the Training Village Philips will host a series of hands-on experiences and live demonstrations of key Philips technologies. To recognize the ongoing efforts of radiographers to promote radiation dose management awareness, Philips and the International Society of Radiographers & Radiological Technologists (ISRRT) will accept submissions for the next “Radiographer of the Year” award.

Visit Philips’ booth (M71 on level 2) at EuroPCR 2017 and follow demonstrations at the Azurion Experience Booth (F18 on level 1) or visit the Philips event page. Follow the #EuroPCR and #FutureOfIGT conversation via @PhilipsLiveFrom and @PhilipsHealth.

*1. iFR Roadmap is not a standalone technology. It can only be purchased as part of the Dynamic Coronary Roadmap package. 2. iFR Roadmap is not yet CE marked and not yet available for delivery.
