In the link below you will find a summary of the clinical study from the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, March 2023.

CVi Clinical Brief (Team-Based Coaching Intervention to Improve Contrast-Associated Acute Kidney Injury A Cluster Randomized Trial)

The study discusses novel strategies to reduce post-procedural AKI incidence post-cardiac catheterization. This implementation trial estimates that the combination of Collaborative with Surveillance reduced the odds of AKI by 46% at VAMCs and is suggestive of a reduction among patients with CKD.

ADVANCING IMAGING IN CCS: UNDERSTANDING THE NEW ESC GUIDELINES AND THE IMPACT OF HDi IVUS

We are thrilled to share that we have partnered with Radcliffe Cardiology to launch an insightful video series on the updated ESC guidelines for chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). Featuring Dr. Joost Daemen and Prof. Christoph Hammerstingl, this series explores the enhanced role of imaging modalities, including our very own ACIST HDi® IVUS, in advancing clinical practice.

This video, now live on the Radcliffe Cardiology website Advancing Imaging in CCS: Understanding the New ESC Guidelines and the Impact of ACIST HDi® IVUS | Radcliffe Cardiology, is being promoted through their global eblast and social media channels, reaching interventional cardiologists and interventional radiologists worldwide.

We encourage you to share this valuable resource with your customers to support their understanding of these impactful guideline updates.

Should you have any questions related to this video, please do not hesitate to reach out to the ACIST Marketing Team at acistmarketing@bracco.com

The latest ESC guidelines now recommend the use of IVUS or OCT for performing PCI on anatomically complex lesions, especially in challenging cases like left main stem, true bifurcations, and long lesions.

This marks a significant advancement in interventional cardiology field and might have a positive effective in the reimbursement process of the different European countries.

 

 

You can find the complete ESC Guidelines here with the recommendation to use Intravascular Imaging Guidance by IVUS or OCT in the assessment of procedural risks and post-procedural outcomes on page 14.

We would like to share with you a new tool that has been recently launched by ORSIF (Occupational Radiation Safety in Interventional Fluoroscopy) and is available for our customers, and that discusses the occupational hazards in the cath lab.

It is a docuseries entitled “Scattered Denial” which explores the occupational hazards that cardiovascular interventionalists and teams face.

You can  find it at scattereddenial.org.

This program is divided into 6 episodes:

• Episode 1:  The Radiation Problem
• Episode 2:  The History of Radiation in Heart and Vascular Disease
• Episode 3:  Radiation Induced Cancers?
• Episode 4:  The Orthopedic Problem
• Episode 5:  Potential Solutions
• Episode 6:  Do We Care?

The content is a great educational tool that addresses the occupational hazards that our customers face related to radiation and orthopedic injury. The insightful commentary on the explicit needs related to taking all measures to optimize the physical working environment and, increase awareness at the administrative and system level is compelling and provides a foundation for productive value based conversations.

As we think more about showing the value of our products, this is a great tool to show how the ACIST CVi^® can help with reducing radiation exposure as well as orthopedic stress for the doctors and staff, and how other tools like Imaging and Physiology can also further simplify the procedures and decrease reliance on the angiograms.
