Vascular suite

Vascular interventions are becoming more diverse and complex. An increasing patient population, the development of new devices, and an uptake in the complexity of minimally invasive procedures mean you need to see better to perform better. Our Vascular suite does just that by providing outstanding imaging and an extensive device offering for even the most difficult procedures.

Peripheral artery disease – a growing epidemic

To treat the growing epidemic of peripheral artery diseases (PAD), we see a clear need for standardization when defining interventional treatment strategies. Philips participates actively in further standardization of CLI procedures from both the imaging and device perspectives.

Making endovascular treatment simpler and efficient

Endovascular treatments of aortic diseases are becoming longer and addressing more complex anatomy. Radiation and contrast medium usage are a concern, specifically for elderly and health-impaired patients.

Philips SmartPerfusion

With perfusion angiography, physicians can conduct a simple and highly sensitive diagnostic test to predict whether a patient is likely to benefit from a second revascularisation.

With Philips Azurion a breakthrough in workflow improvement has been realized, resulting in proven efficiency

With the ever growing number of PAD patients, Azurion offers a number of workflow innovations designed to help vascular teams work efficiently and consistently, while maintaining a single-minded focus on the patient and keeping radiation dose low during peripheral vascular interventions.

17% reduction of procedure time with Philips Azurion at St. Antonius Hospital¹

The ability to treat one more patient per day, or in the future

This is just one of the many improvements in lab performance achieved by the Interventional Vascular Department at St. Antonius Hospital after installing the Azurion system. The first Azurion lab performance study achieved impressive results which have been verified by an independent third party.

ClarityIQ technology – clinically proven

Our novel ClarityIQ X-ray imaging technology provides superb image quality at significantly lower dose across clinical areas, patients, and operators³. One study showed that ClarityIQ reduces patient dose by 83% in iliac DSA procedures⁴, while maintaining equivalent image quality, compared to a system without ClarityIQ.

TSM and FlexVision Pro

Gives you full control of all system inputs including intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), CX50 vascular ultrasound at tableside to save time and unnecessary walking in and out of the sterile area. It also enables you in viewing CT patient information from external source (e.g. PACS database). All data readily at hand and controllable at table side.

Zero Dose Positioning to manage dose

This feature helps you manage dose by allowing you to pan the table, change table height or move the X-ray system on Last Image Hold to determine the new center position. This helps you prepare your next run without using fluoroscopy.

Roadmap Pro with SmartMask

Provides a continuous real-time visualization of the leg as you navigate to the region of interest, making efficient use of iodinated contrast media and radiation dose.

Clinical solutions for peripheral artery interventions

Our Vascular suite provides dedicated vascular interventional tools and advanced vascular devices to support high levels of standardization and redefine outcomes for your PAD patients. They support each step of your procedure – as you decide, guide, treat, and confirm treatment results.

SmartCT** Roadmap for guidewire and catheter

SmartCT Roadmap provides a live 3D image overlay that can be segmented to emphasize the targeted vessel and lesions, supporting fast catheter navigation. The SmartCT Roadmap overlays a 3D reconstruction of the vessel tree, vessel segments, or annotations with live fluoro images. You can adapt the transparency and contrast of the 3D image to enhance visibility of details.

SmartPerfusion for instant perfusion feedback

SmartPerfusion enables you to obtain stable, reliable, and instant information of the foot perfusion⁸ while the patient is still on the table, to assess treatment effect. This image analysis tool provides functional information about tissue perfusion based on a digital subtraction angiography (DSA). You can compare perfusion characteristics in micro- and macro-circulation, pre- and post-intervention to quantify the effects of revascularization procedures immediately after the procedure.

Live image guidance with ClarityIQ technology

High definition images of vessels with superior vascular detail to support precise treatment strategies, navigation, and follow-up.

3D image guidance promotes precise navigation

3D Image guidance provides an intuitive and continuous 3D roadmap. Dynamic 3D roadmap uses the rotational angiograhpy volume acquired in the angio suite overlayed on a live X-ray image. Vesselnavigator uses an existing CTA or MRA dataset as overlay. Both solutions provide insight into the exact position of the guidewire and catheter within the vessel during navigation. They offer, a high level of precision thanks to real-time compensation for gantry, table, and small patient movements.

IVUS enhances disease assessment

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is a catheter-based imaging technology that allows physicians to visualize blood vessels from the inside out to aid assessment of presence and extent of disease. IVUS helps to decide, guide, and confirm the right interventional treatment for each patient.

Philips IGT Devices

During treatment, you have to decide if it is safe to treat the lesion, and what size and type of device should be used, and where to place the stent for best long term patency. Philips IGT Devices provides a portfolio of peripheral device solutions that allow you to personalize treatment decisions for each patient.

Philips Azurion Hybrid OR solutions featuring FlexArm

Our Azurion Hybrid OR solutions provide an innovative surgical care environment that offers exceptional procedural flexibility and ease of use, while meeting the highest standards for surgical infection control and hygiene. The ceiling-mounted system provides unlimited imaging flexibility for diverse procedures and exceptional positioning freedom for medical teams. You get all this in a compact set-up, providing a highly cost-effective environment ready for the procedures of the future. By working around you, Philips Azurion with FlexArm helps you optimize your suite performance and deliver superior care.

Unlimited imaging flexibility

Azurion 7 C20 with FlexArm rotates on no less than eight axis to create virtually unlimited flexibility to perform imaging, from head to toe on the left and right side for both 2D and 3D visualizations. The image beam remains aligned with the patient, allowing better visualization of anatomies during rotations or angulations. Consequently, 100% of participants confirmed in a user study that FlexArm would allow them to work with great flexibility.*

Improved workflow for multiple patient access points

The FlexArm C-arm can provide off-center imaging along both sides of the table. This allows physicians to perform radial or brachial access cases on the left or right arm, fully or partially extended, without moving the patient or pivoting the table. The X-ray beam stays aligned with the arm to promote smooth navigation over its full length without making constant adjustments.
