Our distributor manager Frederik Dupan, has recently returned from India, where he attended the India Live congress held in New Delhi. Recognized as the largest interventional cardiology congress in South East Asia, India Live is organized in collaboration with the India CHIP CTO Meeting. During this congress, ACIST HDi® HD IVUS was introduced to the Indian interventional cardiology community.

Dr. Ziad Ali (St Francis Hospital, New York) chaired the ‘Optimizing Complex PCI with IVUS Imaging’ symposium alongside distinguished Indian physicians as panelists.

Additionally, many attendees visited the booth of our distribution partner @Translumina for a demonstration of the HDi system.

A big thank you Translumina for all your efforts and we are excited about the opportunities to grow the ACIST HDi IVUS market in India!

11 physicians and 4 nurses of University Clinical Center of  Kosovo completed their HDi IVUS training session and the enthusiasm and dedication from these talented professionals to further their skills to provide enhanced care to their patients was truly commendable.

We would like to thank Prof Daut Gorani and his exceptional team for their strong commitment, engagement and support.

We especially would like to thank Arian Haxhijaha from our distributor partner Opharm for the great organization of this training. We look forward to continuing this journey of growth in Kosovo together!

 

The Updated Cable Connectivity Guide is now available!

This is an interactive tool that you can use to determine the following:

• The needed cables / interfaces for the connection of the CVi to the different hemodynamic systems
• X-Ray sync cables for CVi
• The needed Pa / Pd cables to be used with the RXi system in connection with the different hemodynamic systems

ACIST WEBINAR – Cases over Coffee : IVUS Guided Bifurcation PCI with ACIST HDi

In this edition of Cases over Coffee, we invite you to delve into the recently released video featuring Prof Joost Daemen (Erasmus MC, the Netherlands): “IVUS Guided Bifurcation PCI with ACIST HDi.”

 

Our Clinical Program and Training Manager, Olivera Kotevska, will lead this interactive session, offering insights into key aspects of the video, including:

• The potential limitations and prognostic impact of angiography in presenting crucial anatomical patient information
• Principles of imaging and the role of HD intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) in lesion assessment and stent placement
• Features of HDi IVUS
• Planning strategies related to IVUS-guided measurements in Bifurcation PCI
• The significance of accurate lesion assessment and optimal stent placement in achieving successful outcomes for patients undergoing PCI procedures
• Advantages of pre- and post-PCI IVUS measurements
• Optimal MSA (Minimal Stent Area) after PCI

ACIST WEBINAR – Cases over Coffee : Intravascular Imaging in modern PCI, a case study from Germany

 

In this webinar we will review a recent case study video with Prof. Dr. Christoph Hammerstingl and Dr. med Alexander Völz from Eduardus Krankenhaus in Cologne, Germany.

Topic

Routine use of intravascular imaging improves clinical outcomes of patients undergoing PCI. It delivers critical anatomical information pre-and post-stenting, enabling high-precision interventional therapy.

Procedural guidance with intravascular imaging should not only be used for complex PCI but become standard of care.

Key learning Objectives

• To learn about the advantages of IVUS vs. OCT
• To learn how angiography potentially hides crucial anatomical information in your patient with potential prognostic impact.
• To get to know new features of HD-IVUS such as co-registration with angiography.
• To be able to plan your interventional strategy according to IVUS-guided measurements.

Cases over Coffee, session 2: From Angio to IVUS

 

Join our next Cases over Coffee session with the title “From Angio to IVUS”.

The session will be held on Wednesday, April 26^th  3-4 pm CEST  and will cover the use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) in the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease.

During this session, we will

• Discuss the indications for HDi IVUS based on an Angiogram and how to interpret HDi IVUS images
• Review a case study that demonstrate the use of HDi IVUS in guiding percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures and in optimizing stent placement

This training session is ideal for all who want to learn about the clinical and practical use of IVUS and/ or refresh their knowledge.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact our Clinical Program & Training Manager Olivera Kotevska at +49 1726890952 or olivera.kotevska@bracco.com

 

 

Techniques to Optimize Contrast Use in Complex Cases

 

We invite you to join our next Cases over Coffee session with the title “Techniques to Optimize Contrast Use in Complex Cases“.

The session will be held on Wednesday, June 28th, from 3-4 pm CEST and will demonstrate techniques to optimize contrast use in left- and right-heart catheterization, including the treatment of in-stent stenosis in a patient with impaired kidney function.

During this session, we will:

• Discuss the risks of contrast-induced acute kidney injuries (CI-AKI) and the necessity of contrast-optimized procedures.
• Review a real patient case study that demonstrates the need and how to use contrast-optimizing techniques.

This training session is useful if you would like to learn more about CI-AKI and its impact on patients health, and if you would like to deepen your knowledge about techniques to identify options to reduce contrast, including the techniques to actually reduce contrast.
