Cath Lab
The catheterization lab channel includes content related to interventional technologies for coronary and peripheral artery disease (PAD). Other cath lab transcatheter device technologies covered on this page included percutaneous treatment for stroke, venous interventions, heart valves, hypertension, heart failure and percutenous coronary interventions (PCI).
The repuncturable Supera vascular mimetic peripheral stent system from Abbott Vascular was shown to manage bulky, heavily calcified CFA disease due to its extreme crush resistance in the VMI-CFA study.

EchoPixel showed technology at TCT 2019 that creates live holograms in the cath lab from 3-D TEE imaging. It projects the holograms on a special display screen that does not require the user to wear 3-D glasses. The interventional cardiologist can use hand movements and a foot switch to move the image around without breaking the sterile field. It offers a new way to visualize catheters, device positioning and deployment in structural heart procedures. (Photos by Dave Fornell)

This is a realistic cath lab simulator training set up shown by Mentice. The patient has respiratory chest motion, eyes blink and it allows for radial or femoral catheterization. The simulator allows for PCI training. When not used for cath training, the patient simulator can be used by other hospital staff training or EMS training.
