The Montreal Heart Institute (MHI) announced the acquisition of the da Vinci Xi, a new-generation surgical robot, and the first in Canada to be exclusively dedicated to cardiac surgery. "The development of robotic cardiac surgery plays a major role in the expansion of minimally invasive surgery, whose purpose is to minimize the trauma endured by the body by reducing the incision size, for instance", according to the surgical team counting among its members Michel Pellerin, M.D., and Denis Bouchard, M.D., the two cardiac surgeons who performed the first robotic mitral intervention last April. "This new technology will improve the patients' quality of life and allow for a faster return to daily activity, among other benefits", they continued.

Technology | Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD)
Abbott announced U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for magnetic resonance (MR)-conditional labeling for one of the company's most widely-used implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) and associated high voltage leads. The approval of MR-conditional labeling for the Ellipse ICD with the Tendril MRI pacing lead and Durata and Optisure high voltage leads adds another patient-centric benefit to the device and will help further improve access for patients suffering from abnormally fast heart rhythms who need an ICD and who may need an MRI scan in the future.
