Shimadzu Medical Systems USA released the latest version of its Trinias angiography system at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 2022 meeting to address radiation concerns and to help improve workflow.
 

A new analysis in Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions examined rehospitalization rates after AVR, noting that they are consistently associated with worse outcomes and a higher risk of patient mortality.

To address radiation concerns by interventionalists and to help speed workflows in cath labs, Shimadzu released new AI features and single button push features for table and C-arm movement. 

The FDA is reclassifying interventional cardiovascular implant simulation software into the class II (special controls) regulatory category, which will make it easier for the technology to pass regulatory approval. 

The study, published in JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions, focused on data from more than 3,500 TAVR patients. 

The company's most well-known product within the industry is the CorPath GRX System, a second-generation robotics solution used by interventional cardiologists during PCI and other interventional procedures.

Juan Granada, MD, president and CEO of the Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF), shares his thoughts on two key areas of technology advancements in cardiovascular imaging and neuro-interventional care for stroke.
