OXILAN (Ioxilan Injection) is a contrast media for use in peripheral procedures because of its viscosity. Its reportedly low viscosity allows it to reach distal vessels. It also has the lowest osmolality of all nonionic monomers in the U.S. Together, these properties facilitate ease of injection, help improve patient comfort and provide visualization and image quality. Recent figures indicate that nearly 2.5 million peripheral procedures are performed annually, the company said.

Abbott Vascular has two embolic protection systems: the Emboshield and the RX ACCUNET. A filter-based device, Emboshield was developed to minimize the risk of distal embolization (the release of emboli into the bloodstream), which may lead to ischemia, stroke, heart attack and potential death.

The Proxis Embolic Protection System is the first proximal embolic protection device designed for coronary applications.

The SpideRX Embolic Protection Device features a preloaded nitinol filter with a dual-ended catheter for delivery and recovery. Offering a fully rapid exchange system, the device is easy to use in coronary, carotid and peripheral interventions.
The device enables use of a preferred 0.014 to 0.018-inch guide wire to reach and cross the lesion, and a single dual-ended low-profile catheter — one end for delivery and the opposite end for recovery. The preloaded filter/capture wire is ready to flush and deploy with no stylet or introducer.

The FilterWire EZ System is a low-profile filter mounted on a guide wire that reduces complications during balloon angioplasty and stenting procedures in SVGs. The filter captures embolic material that becomes dislodged during interventions, which would otherwise travel into the microvasculature where it would pose an increased risk for a heart attack.

The EXCOR TAH-t has received CE approval with the CardioWest TAH-t. The pneumatic drivers provide precisely calibrated air pulses that make the world’s only FDA- and CE-approved TAH-t pump blood much like a human heart.

Enabling radiologists to diagnose images generated by noninvasive cardiac scanning methods, several specialized functions — cardiac review and analysis, cardiac cage removal in 3-D imaging and cardiac calcium scoring — are being integrated into the next version of KODAK CARESTREAM PACS Software.

A new suite of cardiovascular workflow tools, ComPACSVersion 9 provides unequalled support of legacy ultrasound systems. ComPACSV9 automatically imports image and report data from MODs into a fully DICOM SR-compliant database.
The system has a powerful DICOM viewer with dynamically interpolated zoom, multiple format displays and one-touch side-by-side analysis of multiple exams.

A software fusion application that enables clinicians to perform multimodality image fusion in a single application, CardIQ brings together anatomical and physiological data from CT, PET and nuclear medicine images on the AW Workstation and allows their analysis in a single application.

Designed with one 8-inch-by-8-inch floor-mounted cardiac C-arm and one 12-inch-by-16-inch ceiling-mounted C-arm, the InfinixDP-i/FD2 enables physicians to obtain the images needed to perform both detailed peripheral vascular work and coronary studies.
