Globally, the ageing population, the rising burden of chronic conditions and cardiovascular diseases are considered as the leading causes of morbidity. This has led to an increasing number of interventional procedures which in turn has increased pressure on OR capacity. As such, the efficient and safe execution of these procedures is becoming ever more important.
The intraoperative use of advanced mobile imaging systems addresses this challenge. By improving clinical outcomes, revision surgery rates can be lowered significantly and overall health expenditures reduced. The use of mobile C-arms opens new clinical pathways and lower purchase and installation costs, thus offering a faster return on investment than with fixed in- stalled angiography systems.
Hybrid OR
Ziehm Imaging’s powerful mobile C-arm – Ziehm Vision RFD Hybrid Edition – is designed to successfully perform during highly demanding interventional endovascular procedures. To ensure consistent system temperature and prevent system failure due to overheating, it is equipped with Advanced Active Cooling. Unique to the market, the system provides motorization of all four axes for easy control directly from the sterile field.
It offers all the qualities needed to instantly convert conventional ORs into hybrid rooms. With versatile viewing options, ceiling-mounted monitors, wireless solutions and a unique Usability Concept it requires no modifications to the OR. Connectivity options to 3D vascular navigation systems and contrast injectors make this system ideal for challenging hybrid interventions such as TAVI angioplasties and EVAR.
Software features such as Enhanced Vessel Visualization, with its automatic colour display of vessels, help to precisely define the vessel outlines and the side branches. This eases communication in the OR.
In addition, navigation plays an increasingly important role. Ziehm Imaging and their daughter company Therenva address the field of intraoperative 3D endovascular navigation with their mobile image fusion system EndoNaut.
