Jaimin Chung, director of Canon Medical’s interventional X-ray and vascular business unit, explains the technology behind a new combined CT angiography interventional system aimed at neurology, trauma, stroke and pediatrics that recently received 510(k) FDA clearance.

Canon Medical is launching new X-ray advances at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 2025 annual meeting.

SCAI feels this is the best way forward to try lowering mortality rates, but the group is asking cardiologists to help by gathering more data. 

Pulmonary embolism (PE) treatment has evolved over time, yet it remains the third leading cause of cardiovascular death across the United States. TriStar Health, a comprehensive health system serving Tennessee and Kentucky and part of HCA Healthcare, is now using an AI platform to support clinicians in providing more effective care for PE patients.

SCAI President Srihari Naidu, MD, detailed some of the challenges interventional cardiologists face as reimbursements keep declining. The group has been building new partnerships with other medical societies to strengthen its influence in Washington. 

Sahil Parikh, MD, said it was clear at TCT 2025 that the specialty is getting more and more involved with endovascular procedures for stroke, pulmonary embolism and peripheral artery disease.

Noninvasive coronary CT angiography is growing more and more important as time goes on, helping cardiologists make critical treatment decisions. Carlos Collet, MD, PhD, discussed the technique's potential to be a real game-changer for patient care in a new interview. 

Highly anticipated trial data comparing mechanical thrombectomy to anticoagulation alone for intermediate- and high-risk pulmonary embolism showed that the more aggressive strategy improved outcomes.
