Improve your clinical workflow with syngo EVAR Guidance

Benefit from a high degree of automation using syngo EVAR Guidance in your clinical workflow. It can be used for all kinds of EVAR procedures, including complex ones. It helps you to reduce procedure time as well as contrast media.

What will be the future of Hybrid Operating Rooms?

During his speech at the Paris Vascular Insights Course, Prof. Maani Hakimi,MD, discussed the future perspectives of vascular surgery in hybrid operating rooms. A key topic in this context is achieving the highest possible image quality with the lowest possible radiation dose. Ideally, this should be automated so that surgeons can fully concentrate on their patients. How can this be achieved?

AT Surgery Radiation Articel Alina Reeg

Learn how to establish a radiation protection culture to enhance occupational health

The risks of radiation exposure gain more awareness, especially among the younger generation of surgeons. In her interview, Alina Reeg, MD, talks about the Lucerne Endovascular Milestone Approach to standardize EVAR procedures and to monitor dose levels, using Case Flows to guide through the procedure.

Why do you use CO2 and what are the benefits?

Prof. Michele Antonello, Dr. Thomas Karl, and Dr. José Manuel Encisa de Sá discuss the reasons and specific cases for which they utilize CO2 as a contrast agent in angiography in their daily practice. They believe that the use of CO2 will increase and that more hospitals will adopt it in the future.

Vascular Surgery - Siemens Healthineers

Redefining Acute Trauma Care with Hybrid Emergency Rooms

The most critical factor in trauma care is time. The clinical experts of Tohoku University Hospital led by Prof. Shigeki Kushimoto, MD, PhD, whose vision is zero trauma death, work in a hybrid emergency room environment combining whole-body CT and angiography to come closer to this goal.

The Hybrid ER enables interventions much faster than one hour and makes patient transfers obsolete.

ARTIS icono floor is especially designed for vascular surgical procedures

Learn from Prof. Éric Ducasse, MD, how the new hybrid operating room set-up with its ergonomics, speed and applications allows the surgical team to work more efficiently and led them to better patient care for endovascular and hybrid surgery.

Pre-defined settings save time and make the workflow smoother and can save radiation dosage.

A Hybrid OR for complex endovascular cases

Listen to Prof. Antoine Millon, MD, emphasizing the significance of optimal image quality and low radiation dose during endovascular procedures conducted in a Hybrid OR. Millon uses a Hybrid OR equipped with an ARTIS pheno already for a wide array of procedures from iliac stenting to complex EVAR cases and expects that complex aortic procedures will rise in the future.

“Moreover, the hybrid operating room facilitates more creative treatments. Our cardiologists and cardiac surgeons have more flexibility when combining open surgery and interventions to deal with the specific conditions of individual patients. So, the patients benefit from reduced waiting times, trauma, length of hospital stay, as well as cost.”

“Especially when it comes to aortic surgery, we would all like to schedule the operation for the hybrid operating room. So, in the event of any complication during the operation, we can perform angiography immediately for assessment and judgement. Therefore, hybrid OR can greatly enhance the safety of operations.”
