More confidence
Achieve the confidence of TEE imaging guidance with the benefits of intracardiac echo [4-6]
Increase efficiencies
Reduce procedure time and costs by removing general anesthesia for more efficient operations [1,2]
Improve satisfaction
Improve patient satisfaction with same-day discharges, shorter waiting times and reduced anxiety around general anesthesia [3]
Clear guidance
Navigate complex anatomy and tailor views with real-time, 360° visualization and digital steering to obtain all views from one catheter position.

0.97 vs 1.35 days
difference between ICE and TEE hospital stays [7]
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.
Exceptional insight, now in sight.
VeriSight Pro 3D ICE provides direct visualization, near-field imaging and real-time guidance inside the heart chambers, reducing the need for general anesthesia and minimizing catheter manipulation with its unique digital steering. [8]
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.
Safe and efficient alternative to TEE [4-6]
A retrospective, single-center study found VeriSight Pro as a safe and efficient alternative to TEE, that can enhance procedural workflows, reduce GA, and lower overall care costs. [7] Furthermore, SCAI and HRS released a uniform recommendation that TEE or ICE can be used to guide LAAO procedures.
Simplify concomitant LAAO/ablation procedures
VeriSight Pro 3D ICE Catheter offers a single imaging solution to complete both the Afib ablation and LAAO procedures. Experience more efficient and effective interventions while also reducing imaging modalities and patient discomfort. [1,9-12] Watch a live case and expert discussion.
