Resistant and restenotic lesions remain a challenge to the delivery of successful PCI, driving the need for advanced imaging tools to assess the lesion characteristics and specialty tools to treat the lesion. Philips cardiology solutions provide both detailed anatomic information and specialty therapeutic tools to assist in the treatment of these complex cases.
With OmniWire pressure guide wire, you can easily integrate iFR or FFR measurements into your daily PCI routines. iFR allows you to reduce cost, time, and patient discomfort versus FFR.5,6,7.
iFR Co-registration can be used when the lesions are more complex and advanced insights are required by mapping the physiology gradients onto the angiogram.
ELCA coronary laser atherectomy catheters are designed to cross, prepare and treat the most difficult coronary lesions.
New AngioSculpt Evo RX PTCA scoring balloon catheter
Highly deliverable scoring balloon, with the power to safely dilate resistant lesions.8,9,10
IVUS can be used to evaluate the result of the intervention and to verify whether additional treatment is needed.
