In 2009, the GuideLiner Catheter revolutionized the concept of guide extension, creating new possibilities in interventional cardiology. Now in its third generation, the GuideLiner V3 Catheter continues to build on a history of innovation and performance — one that has been demonstrated with more than half a million catheters in cath labs around the world.

Teleflex also offers a family of Turnpike Catheters. These contain a robust multi-layer shaft that provides impressive flexibility, torque and tracking over a 0.014” guidewire in complex coronary and peripheral interventions. The unique five-layer composite shaft provides an ideal combination of flexibility and torque response to help navigate through complex anatomy while the outer polymer layer paired with a 60 cm distal hydrophilic coating facilitates smooth catheter delivery. This portfolio consists of the Turnpike Catheter (standard version), the Turnpike Spiral Catheter, the Turnpike Gold Catheter, and the Turnpike LP Catheter. Each catheter configuration contains a specific design element to address various clinical challenges in complex procedures

This year, Teleflex acquired two well-known PTCA balloon catheters. The Chocolate XD PTCA Balloon Catheter is a specialty angioplasty balloon, used in the pre-dilatation and treatment of coronary lesions. The balloon’s proprietary nitinol constraining structure creates “pillows” and “grooves” that are designed to provide controlled dilatation while minimizing vessel wall trauma.

The Glider PTCA Balloon Catheter is a semi-compliant balloon with a skived tip and low entry profile. The tip design, coupled with hydrophilic coating and an innovative, torqueable shaft, allows for precise tip orientation for use in crossing complex lesions and stent struts.

January 01, 2025

Preventing contrast induced nephropathy and managing patients with chronic kidney disease remain major challenges in the cardiac catheterization lab. In recent years, contrast supply shortages have presented a new challenge to care delivery. When considering these challenges, and as quality metrics in our labs face more scrutiny, there are existing technologies and best practices such as a variable rate contrast delivery systems and HD IVUS that can be used to manage workflow and improve patient outcomes.

The ACC Interventional Council’s recent statement recommending that intracoronary imaging be a routine part of clinical practice further reinforces the need for adoption of intracoronary. Using a case-based approach, the faculty will demonstrate how to use the ACIST CVi contrast delivery system, HDi high definition IVUS and diagnostic and post-PCI physiologic assessment to reduce contrast usage, improve AKI rates and deliver optimized patient outcomes.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this webinar, participants will understand that high-quality care starts at the point of education and can transform cardiovascular imaging. Attendees will see how optimized workflows can improve quality and will be able to:

  • To understand the benefits of implementing a variable rate contrast delivery system in the cath lab.

  • To understand the clinical benefits of HD IVUS utilization and how to implement a standardized workflow for effective use.

  • To understand how HD IVUS and physiologic testing can be used to improve patient outcomes and reduce contrast utilization.

Behavioral science is being applied in unique ways for enterprise-imaging product design.

Behavioral science is the study of human behavior. It’s a mix of psychology, sociology, social and cultural anthropology, and economics. Using a data-driven, human-centered approach, behavioral science helps uncover what people have done in the past and tries to predict — and often change — how they’ll behave in the future.

In this webinar, leading healthcare experts will discuss how observation, interviews, and experimentation can help the industry form a better understanding of current customer needs and pain points within cardiovascular imaging. Having clinicians involved in the product-design process has led to the complete rearchitecting of a next-generation hemodynamics solution.

Using a real-world scenario, we’ll share a clinician’s experience working with behavioral science and product-development teams, provide an understanding of how they’re using hemodynamics today, and get their thoughts on the future of imaging and hemodynamics.

By listening to key stakeholders, new features can be brought to market that will have a notable impact on the way health systems operate. By building better products, we can help improve patient outcomes and ultimately transform the healthcare industry — one behavior at a time.

Learning Objectives

  • How a next-generation hemodynamics system has implemented 19 user-centric concepts and undergone iterative testing with healthcare providers.

  • How physicians, technicians, nurses and administrators are providing their expertise to bring new features to market that will have a notable impact on the way health systems operate.

  • What a next-generation hemodynamics system can do to keep pace with new technology innovations in cardiovascular care and increasing clinical demands.

4Tech Inc. initiated its U.S. Early Feasibility Study of the TriCinich Coil System following U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval, with the first two implantations at Piedmont Heart Hospital in Atlanta. The implantations were conducted by  Christopher Meduri, M.D., Vivek Rajagopal, M.D., and Mani Vannan, M.D. The study will evaluate the TriCinch Coil System in 15 patients across seven centers in the U.S.

Siemens Healthineers announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance of the Cios Spin, a new mobile C-arm that delivers precise 3-D images for intraoperative quality assurance.

November 5, 2018 — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is evaluating recent reports of Getinge's Maquet/Datascope intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) devices shutting down while running on battery power. The company issued a letter to providers warning them about this issue Nov. 1, 2018. 

IABPs are used on critically-ill patients in health care facilities, including during transport. The vendor said an interruption in treatment can result in serious patient injury or death.

November 2, 2018 — Cordis, a Cardinal Health company, today announced the U.S. launch of Mynx Control Vascular Closure Device (VCD). It integrates active extravascular sealing and bioresorbability properties with a next-generation delivery system to maximize predictability, safety, and ease of use in sealing 5-7 French femoral arterial access sites. Vascular closure devices reduce time to hemostasis and ambulation in patients who have undergone diagnostic or interventional procedures.

Hospitals that routinely perform a heart valve replacement procedure requiring open heart surgery are more likely to adopt a newer, less invasive technique, according to a new study, published Oct. 31 in JAMA Cardiology from Weill Cornell Medicine. When hospitals have a high caseload of both, they are likely to achieve the best patient outcomes for those who undergo the newer procedure.

In a new study, acute heart failure patients who received individualized treatment by blood volume measurement with the BVA-100 blood volume analyzer showed statistically significantly reduced 30-day readmission and 30-day and one-year mortality rates. The study, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology - Heart Failure,1 compared the experimental group to propensity-matched controls.

Digital health company Planet Intelligent recently launched the ExMedicus Smartwatch, what it calls the world’s first health smartwatch with biometric technology that monitors overall health, heart health and physical wellness.
