Philips Seeks Better Understanding of PCI Outcomes Through New Trial
Philips is continuing its investment into percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures through a new study. The company announced the (Distal Evaluation of Functional performance with Intravascular sensors to assess the Narrowing Effect: Guided Physiologic Stenting) (DEFINE GPS) global multicenter study, which has a goal to assess outcomes of PCI procedures guided by integrated iFR and interventional X-ray images. The announcement of the study comes on the heels of Philips making a bid to shed its appliances unit so it can focus on healthcare.Â

Meet the Brilliant Minds Behind the First ICD
Mirowski: From WWII to Sinai Hospital
The story of how Mieczyslaw "Michel" Mirowski ended up in America where he conceived the idea of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is almost as incredible as the invention itself, if not more so. Mirowski was born in Warsaw, Poland in 1924. He grew up among the large Jewish population of Warsaw at that time, but when the Nazis invaded Poland in 1939, 15-year-old Mirowski left his family and fled to Russia with a friend. He would be the only member of his family to survive World War II, according to a 2010 article...

Can 3D Modeling Replace a Guidewire-Based Cardiac Procedure?
The CathWorks FFRangio System, which received FDA clearance in late last year, has just been approved by the Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW). Designed for use during angiography, the non-invasive diagnostic tool turns routine angiogram images into color-coded 3D renderings of blood flow in the heart's arteries. Physicians can then use the images to determine whether a stent is needed.
“The CathWorks FFRangio System automatically receives the angiograms in DiCOM format from the C-ARM (X-Ray) systems at the time of angiogram procedure,†Ramin Mousavi, vice president,&...
