Get the Complete Picture: DMC Heart Hospital with Dr Chadi Alraies

Today begins a new chapter in the marketing of the CVi value story!

We are happy to inform you that with the Get the Complete Picture video series, you now have a qualitative, experience-based resource for you all to bring the amazing work you’re doing to life.

The Get the Complete Picture video series is meant to turn the focus entirely on our customers so that they can share their stories and their experiences of working with the CVi and truly bring the Vital Signs process to life. We know for a fact that peer-to-peer “marketing” and conversations are much stickier and create more of a connection than any brochure or digital banner ad can. Thus, the Get the Complete Picture video series was born.

The inaugural episode features the team at DMC Heart Hospital out of Detroit. Dr Alraies and his team have had CVi systems in their hospital for years, and they realized (through persistent conversations with our US sales colleagues) that they had largely forgotten about them. As of earlier this summer, they now have 2 of their devices in Cath labs, full-time, and are working on standardizing the use of the CVi across all labs, with all providers, for all procedures. In the full video and accompanying teaser clips, Dr Alraies, his Cath lab Manager Jason, and resident tech expert Raegan, all share how the CVi makes a difference for them and their patients .. and wouldn’t you know it, they hit on all three pillars of our value story (workflow/efficiency, economic value, and quality metrics).

CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEOS and you’ll see for yourself.

ACIST Marketing has created a pair of videos featuring Dr. Thomas Biggs, an Interventional Cardiologist from the Minneapolis Heart Institute, Minnesota, USA.  In these videos, Dr. Biggs discusses the advantages of utilizing RXi and Navvus II within the cath lab.  Tune in to hear how he describes how RXi and Navvus have improved his procedural performance by providing precise pressure measurements in the arteries, all while allowing him to maintain the 0.014” guidewire of choice!

This webinar features US-based Drs Doshi and Khuddus and went live at the end of June. The Drs will walk through the use of CVi and HDi to manage contrast usage and ultimately improve patient outcomes.

While angiography remains the technology of choice, there are best practices to help manage contrast dose and waste, and there are other technologies like intracoronary imaging (IVUS) that should become more routine. The conversation around this multi-modality approach continues to grow, and we’re grateful to have such KOLs amplifying this message using our products as the devices of choice.

Check out the latest DAIC blog by Dr. Vamsi Krishna from Ascension Seton Hays down in Kyle, TX. Dr Krishna has been a firm believer in the CVi since his residency and fellowship days in California. In the field of medical imaging and procedures, having a versatile and efficient contrast delivery system can greatly enhance the quality of patient care.

In his blog post, Dr Krishna explores the various features and functions of the CVi, highlighting its range of abilities in terms of device capabilities, setup options, and use-case applications. He discusses how these features can positively impact healthcare professionals, hospitals, and most importantly, patients.

ACIST CVi | The Journey to Success: Dr. Maurice Alston´s Inspiring Story

 

Are you looking for inspiration to make a compelling case for investing in the ACIST CVi? Or are you looking for a success story to inspire your next new account?

Read about Dr. Maurice Alston’s, Interventional Cardiologist at Tennova Medical Center in Tennessee, experience with reducing CI-AKI incidences through the adoption of the CVi system.

The article details Dr. Alston´s experience with contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) and the challenges faced while using the hand manifold. It discusses the importance of limiting contrast volume to prevent CI-AKI and the benefits of using the ACIST CVi, which allows for easy adjustment of contrast flow and volume, also featuring the air column detection sensor to prevent air embolism.

What I found particularly inspiring about this article is how Dr. Alston was able to convince his hospital to invest in and adopt the CVi System, resulting in a reduction in AKI incidences. The article also touches on the challenges faced during the transition to the CVi System, and Dr. Alston´s effort to get other physicians to reduce their contrast volume settings.

Read Dr. Alston´s journey and learn how to convince your next new hospital to invest in the ACIST CVi. I highly recommend to read this article.
