Increase confidence
Philips offers integrated solutions for the treatment of LAAO, combining interventional X-ray, 3D ultrasound and interventional tools designed to enable confident navigation and positioning of devices to optimize outcomes.
Image-guided therapy can help simplify LAAO workflows
- Gain optimal patient access during the procedures.
- Achieve superb image quality at significantly lower dose across clinical areas, patients and operators.
- Simplify pre-op structural heart disease planning and enhance insights with live fusion.
- Enhance confidence in device manipulation and in understanding anatomical structures with EchoNavigator.
- Improve efficiency through the automation of imaging views and fusion.
- Continuously monitor patients and improve Cath lab workflows with hemodynamic monitoring and data management.
LAAO procedure planning capabilities and imaging guidance
- Flexible gantry positions optimize workflow with FlexArm on Azurion.
- Achieve high-quality imaging with excellent visibility at a low X-ray dose with ClarityIQ imaging technology.
- Reorient and combine ultrasound and X-ray information into a single augmented visualization for guidance and device-tissue relationship assessment with EchoNavigator.
- HeartNavigator offers fully automated CT analysis, including sizing and optimal X-ray projection, as well as Cath lab integration for automatic views and fluoroscopic fusion of planning information.
