OCCUPI, an Investigator Initiated Study led by Dr BK Kim (Severance Hospital, S Korea) was presented as a late-breaker at just concluded ESC. The study which was also simultaneously published in prestigious Lancet demonstrated that OCT-guided PCI significantly improves clinical outcomes and enhances safety and effectiveness of coronary stenting compared to conventional angiography-guided PCI in complex cases. The data was presented just a couple of days after the revision of ESC guidelines for the treatment of CCS, which revised the Intravascular Imaging (OCT/IVUS for complex lesion) to the highest possible level IA. The results from OCCUPI and the new recommendations will likely change the practice of PCI with DES for complex coronary lesions by providing stronger support for the superior benefits of OCT guidance over conventional angio-guided PCI. Many congratulations to the Investigators of OCCUPI for running this large RCT.. #OCT #ComplexPCI #DES #ESC2024 #InvestigatorInitiatedStudy #Abbottproud

The Clinical Services In IR Task Force developed a three-stage system for clinical services infrastructure development. This system shall help create awareness of the fact that different levels of service provision can be offered and worked towards. IRs may also use this system to benchmark themselves and set personal goals for future developments in their centre and practice. The three levels of clinical services infrastructure are split into #inpatient and #outpatient. What is your current level? Where do you see yourself in three years from now? What helps you or holds you back? Leave a comment to share your experience! Learn more about the three-stage system here: https://t.ly/8EvkP Task force members: Prof. Dr. Andreas H.

Photon Counting CT: Improved Cost-effectiveness and decreased complications against Standard Energy-Integrating Detector-CT. Another important advantage.

🔝 Case of the Month in #photoncounting CT🫀 By Milan Vecsey-Nagy at #MUSCcvi As this month’s case coincides with #RSNA2024, we decided to present a unique series of ultra-high-resolution (UHR) #photoncounting CCTA cases - a topic that has been generating significant interest. These cases showcase the exceptional detail provided by UHR CT compared to standard-resolution energy-integrating detector CT. Observe how the enhanced spatial resolution and improved calcium blooming impact stenosis assessment ()! With consistently lower percent diameter stenosis measurements, patients are often reclassified into lower CAD-RADS categories. Such reclassification significantly alters patient pathways, reducing the need for additional functional testing or invasive procedures, and ultimately lowering the rate of complications and costs.

Perspectum and MRCP+ in the Spotlight! We’re thrilled to share that quantitative biliary metrics using MRCP+ are gaining significant attention in the medical community. As highlighted at The 2024 Liver Meeting, this breakthrough technology is proving to be a game-changer in understanding and managing primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). A special thank you to Sarah Finnegan, PhD, who presented new research findings from a partnership with the University of Toronto led by Dr Kartik Jhaveri and Dr Gideon Hirschfield showing that MRCP+ could detect changes in biliary tree anatomy over 10 years. PSC is a complex and challenging disease, but advancements like MRCP+ demonstrate how precision diagnostics can enable better clinical decisions, earlier interventions, and improved outcomes for patients worldwide. At Perspectum, we are committed to shaping a future where innovation meets impact, and this milestone brings us one step closer. 📖 Find the full article in the comments below! #Perspectum #MRCPPlus #PrecisionDiagnostics #PSC #HealthcareInnovation

The power of collaborations and focusing on what you are the best in is the true key to success. By combining expertise with Imaging CROs, we can help trial sponsors ensure high-quality results and shorter timelines in imaging-based respiratory clinical trials. #ERS2024 International Congress by the European Respiratory Society in Vienna. #clinicaltrials #respiratoryresearch #collaboration #imagingCRO #ERSCongress #innovation #healthcare

Getting coronary physiology is key in contemporary cardiology. As we move towards CCTA as routing tool for pre-PCI assessment, there is event greater need to obtain consistent and accurate data from CCTA. Reducintion stair-step artifacts is yet another step towards quality decisions. Worth reading to all involved in the filed.

🌟 TCT Conference Recap: Prof. Lei Song Unveils Phase III Results of IBS 🌟 At this year’s TCT conference, we were excited to witness Prof. Lei Song’s presentation of the IRONMAN Phase III clinical trial results for IBS! This is an exciting milestone that highlights not only the team’s research excellence but also brings an innovative solution to the field of cardiovascular treatment. 🔹 Ground-breaking Results: Phase III data show that iron-based stents maintain vascular patency with outstanding biocompatibility, significantly reducing the incidence of complications. 🔹 Better for Patients: Compared to traditional stents, iron-based stents offer enhanced degradability and biocompatibility, substantially lowering the burden of long-term follow-up and providing a safer, more effective treatment option for patients. 🔹 Gratitude for the Team's Dedication: Prof. Runlin Gao and Prof. Lei Song with his team have demonstrated rigorous scientific dedication and perseverance, driving progress in cardiovascular medical technology and making high-quality care more accessible. A huge thank you to all the researchers, clinicians, and patients involved in this project! We look forward to seeing these findings swiftly translated into clinical practice, benefiting more patients. #CardiovascularInnovation #TCT2024 #IronBasedScaffold #MedTech #ClinicalTrials #HealthTech #Biotyx #IBS #IronBasedScaffold
