Optimizing lab procedures with 3D ICE

  1. 28

    minutes average room time saved [1]

    28

    minutes average room time saved [1]

    LAAO procedures guided by VeriSight Pro can save significant lab time. General anesthesia is not required, allowing faster room turnover and reallocation of staff to other procedures to maximize your facility's productivity.

  2. 33%

    less costs than procedures with general anesthesia [2]

    33%

    less costs than procedures with general anesthesia [2]

    By eliminating general anesthesia and associated PACU care, reducing lab time and increasing same-day-discharge, labs can reduce overall hospital expenses and associated costs.

  3. 0.97 vs 1.35 days

    Difference between ICE and TEE hospital stays [4]

    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.

  4. 1.3% vs 95.6%

    difference between ICE and TEE PACU utilization [4]

    1.3% vs 95.6%

    difference between ICE and TEE PACU utilization [4]

    VeriSight Pro ICE had a dramatic reduction in PACU utilization compared to TEE in a recent study. ICE-guided procedures support same-day discharge and avoids anesthesia bottlenecks for enhanced workflows.

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.
