BIFI-MAR- BIFUCATION WORKSHOP IN HOSPITAL DEL MAR, BARCELONA

 

Dra. Vaquerizo and rest of the team of Hospital del Mar, together with some other members of the European Bifurcation Club, organized an educational event focusing on complex bifurcation cases.

With the help of live cases, insightful presentations and corresponding engaging discussions, attendees could learn more about different types of bifurcations, diagnostic and treatment techniques. The sessions followed the latest ESC guidelines, with bifurcation cases guided by IVUS imaging using the ACIST HDi system.

Physicians and fellows from 5 different Spanish hospitals were present.  As guest speakers were Stephane Carlier (BE) , Remo Albiero (IT) and Pedro Martin (SP).

Elena Andrade and Carlos Cruz of ACIST attended the event which was supported by our Spanish distributor partner Mercé V Electromedicina.

RUSE INTERVENTIONAL DAYS: FOCUS ON CARDIOVASCULAR COMPLICATIONS (BULGARIA)

 

This important  meeting in Bulgaria focused on managing complications in cardiovascular disease and highlighted the importance of a multidisciplinary approach.

The meeting was chaired by Prof. Dobrin Vassilev, Head of Cardiology Clinic at SHATC Medica Cor and President of the Bulgarian Society of Interventional Cardiology. With his ongoing advocacy for ACIST technologies in Bulgaria and a fantastic relationship with our distributor contacts Melina Miteva and Pavel Kalinski of Ewopharma, we were excited to be part of this meeting.

Another highlight of the conference was when Prof. Dr. Christoph Hammerstingl from Eduardus Hospital in Cologne, Germany, presented on High-Definition Intravascular Imaging, which was highly appreciated by attendees. During his lecture, he showed how IVUS effectively prevents cardiovascular complications by showcasing real-life, practical case studies from his extensive experience using ACIST HDi. His valuable insights were very much appreciated by the attendees.

We’d like to thank our distributor partners Melina Miteva and Pavel Kalinski for being such great ACIST representatives in Bulgaria!

Last week, our European HQ in the Netherlands hosted a product sales training focusing on our CV solutions – ACIST HDi® HD IVUS, ACIST RXi® FFR,  and the ACIST CVi®  contrast delivery system.

It brought together a dynamic group of sales and clinical professionals from our distributor partners in EMEA, and their engagement and energy made  for a highly interactive and productive training week.

Thank you to everyone who attended!

We would also like to thank our presenters Olivera Kotevska, Jeff Soto, Elena Andrade Rosa, and Zineb Alaoui Sosse – whose expertise made the training an engaging and insightful experience.

Last week at High Tech Cardio in Marseille, we were delighted to witness Pr Farzin Beygui from CHU Caen present a live in-box case featuring ACIST HDi® IVUS. The case underscored the significance of using 60 MHz IVUS for complex lesion procedures, in this particular case in conjunction with BBraun and Shockwave technologies.

We’re anticipating the congress organization to release the video for external use, and once they do, we’ll share it with you.

We’re pleased to inform you that we’ve expanded our collection of available case recordings, introducing a new video ‘IVUS Guided Bifurcation PCI; moderated by Dr. Joost Daemen from Erasmus MC in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

This new video covers a comprehensive range of topics related to the use of HD IVUS in complex cases from fundamental principles to practical applications in guiding interventional procedures in bifurcations for improved patient outcome.

Watch the video if you want to learn more about

• The advantages of HDi IVUS
• Potential limits and possible prognostic impact of angiography in displaying crucial anatomical patient information
• To understand the principles of imaging and HD intravascular ultrasound’s (IVUS) role in lesion assessment and stent placement
• To get to know new features of HDi IVUS
• To be able to plan your interventional strategy according to IVUS-guided measurements in Bifurcation PCI
• To understand the importance of accurate lesion assessment and optimal stent placement in achieving successful outcomes for patients undergoing PCI procedures.
• The advantages of pre- and post PCI IVUS measurements
• Optimal MSA after PCI

Overview

Clinical data shows that routine use of intravascular imaging improves clinical outcomes of patients undergoing PCI. It delivers critical anatomical information pre and post-stenting. Thereby, HD-IVUS enables “high-precision” interventional therapy. Intravascular imaging should become the standard of care, not just for complex PCI procedural guidance.

 

All new CVi systems that are delivered now come with he new Saline Pump.  The new pump has a more intuitive and reproducible loading mechanism of tubing and a spring loading clamping which eliminates the need for user adjustments to avoid over-clamping or under-clamping.

Similarly, all repairs requiring pump replacement will also receive the new article.

The technical service teams are also informed, and a new service memo has been shared with them including repair instructions. The User Manual has also been updated and we’re working on updating the Quick Guides in all languages and we will share these with you when they become available.

A small note: The new pump has a 1.9 ml / s, so make sure the syringe is completely empty before you start flushing the system during setup to avoid overfilling the syringe in the 10 seconds flush.
