Every day, about 2,200 Americans die of cardiovascular disease, averaging one death every 40 seconds [1]. In the United States alone, 92 million adults are living with cardiovascular disease. Now more than ever, the need for integrated image-guided therapy solutions that connect interventional staff members, technology and data is critical.
Harnessing vital procedural information from various sources, such as imaging systems, interventional devices, navigation tools and patient health records, Philips’ Azurion next generation image-guided therapy platform offers a solution to provide interventional staff members with the control and information they need to perform procedures efficiently. Complementing Philips’ interventional X-ray systems, Philips also offers next generation 3D TEE technology, which provides for new levels of live 3D imaging. Its features include a new acoustic design with higher frequencies and bandwidth to provide increased resolution and tissue filling. Additionally, fast, easy and confident transthoracic and transesophageal echo allows clinicians to diagnose surgical pathology in real time.
