A new technology is set to change the endovascular game by offering 3D, full-colour guidance to replace the 2D, greyscale standard-of-care. The result? Increased visualisation without the use of fluoroscopy. This is one of the key messages to have emerged from a roundtable discussion at the recent Charing Cross (CX) International Symposium (23–25 April, London, UK) on complex aortic procedures, Fiber Optic RealShape (FORS) technology, and the latest from Philips—FORS-powered LumiGuide.
The CX discussion saw aortic experts Bijan Modarai (London, UK), Isabelle van Herzeele (Ghent, Belgium) and Laurent Chiche (Paris, France) all share their experience with and expert opinions on Philips’ imaging offering for complex aortic procedures.
The speakers highlighted the issue of increased radiation exposure that is associated with the increased complexity of endovascular cases. The solution that they suggest is the FORS-powered LumiGuide (Philips), which provides 3D device guidance using light that aims to offer better visualisation in full colour, with minimal need for fluoroscopy.
