Hear how the use of Philips VeriSight Pro 3D ICE Catheter has impacted one lab’s efficiency during LAAO procedures
Optimizing lab procedures with 3D ICE
0.97 vs 1.35 days
Difference between ICE and TEE hospital stays [4]
A retrospective, single-center study found Philips VeriSight Pro ICE resulted in shorter hospital stays compared to TEE during LAAO procedures. VeriSight Pro helps reduced readmissions and length of stay, providing a cost-efficient solution for LAAO procedures.
Experience the difference
Confidence
Achieve the confidence of TEE imaging guidance with the benefits of intracardiac echo [5]
Efficiency
Reduce procedure time and costs by removing general anesthesia for more efficient operations [1,2]
Satisfaction
Improve patient satisfaction with same-day discharges, shorter waiting times and reduced anxiety around general anesthesia [3]
Guidance
Navigate complex anatomy and tailor views with real-time, 360° visualization and digital steering to obtain all views from one catheter position.
Expert standardized imaging
Electrophysiology and interventional cardiology experts have collaborated to build step-by-step 3D ICE-guided LAAO protocols with VeriSight Pro to ensure all criteria for device placement and deployment imaging are confidently achieved. View the full step-by-step process for LAA closure.
Confidently streamline LAAO operations
Improve lab efficiency and reduce your reliance on general anesthesia in LAAO procedures, so you can streamline procedural logistics without compromising quality of care. A recent retrospective, single-center study found Philips VeriSight Pro as a safe and efficient alternative to TEE, with the potential to enhance procedural workflows, reduce reliance on general anesthesia, and lower overall healthcare costs. [4]
