Henry Ford Hospital thought leaders regularly speak at the cardiology conferences about new research and technology innovations. So, it was an honor when DAIC was invited to conduct a site visit at Henry Ford recently to tour its facilities, sit in on procedures and conduct numerous video interviews to better understand the workings of the institution. 

I recently had the opportunity to conduct an onsite visit to the University of Colorado Hospital Heart and Vascular Center at the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, Colo., which is part of UCHealth.

Dec. 3, 2025 — Atraverse Medical, a medical device company developing next-generation left-heart access technology, has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. FDA for its fully integrated HOTWIRE Transseptal Access System. 

Dec. 3, 2025 — Recross Cardio Inc., a structural heart company developing next-generation membrane sealing technology, recently announced the first clinical implantation with its novel PFO Sealing system in the PROTEA-PFO Early Feasibility Study (EFS).

Dec. 2, 2025 — At RSNA 2025, Siemens Healthineers announced Syngo.CT Coronary Cockpit1, a new software solution within the Syngo.via2 platform designed to support the management of coronary artery disease (CAD) for both dual-source and photon-counting CT scanners. As the leading cause of death globally and a major contributor to disability,3 CAD continues to pose a significant global health challenge. This drives increasing demand for diagnostic and treatment planning tools that are both efficient and minimally invasive.

Dec. 2, 2025 — Brainomix, a provider of AI-powered imaging tools in stroke and lung fibrosis, has announced the publication of a prospective real-world study demonstrating that its AI imaging platform, Brainomix 360 Stroke, significantly increased rates of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) treatment, a minimally invasive surgical procedure for patients with large vessel occlusion stroke, and reduced delays in patient triage and transfer.

CT-First Gains Momentum

More than 1 million patients undergo a cardiac catheterization each year,1 but those numbers could decline as more cardiologists look toward coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) as the first test to diagnose coronary artery disease (CAD).
