Overview
Clipping the tricuspid valve is challenging and imaging with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) can be limited. In this webinar, experts in structural heart procedures will showcase how the wide angle of the ACUSON AcuNav™ Volume ICE catheter can make a difference in guiding you through these procedures. Showing footage from a live-case at Gaia/Espinho Hospital Center, Portugal, the presenters draw on their clinical experience using this device to provide an in-depth presentation and discussion on how the ACUSON AcuNav™ Volume ICE catheter is designed to meet the current needs of the structural heart market. With its increased field of view (90°x50°), it provides visualization of valvular structures for valve repair and replacement, along with the established capabilities and benefits of intracardiac echocardiography. Towards the end of the webinar, the audience will have an opportunity to ask the presenters about the ACUSON AcuNav™ Volume ICE catheter and the presented procedures.
ACUSON AcuNav™ Volume ICE catheter is 510(k) approved. Verification of mutual compatibility of medical devices combined in a system according to Article 12 of the Medical Devices Directive (MDD) 93/42/EEC is pending. Thus, the product is not commercially available in the European Union.
