Aortic disease
Our Vascular suite provides workflow options, dedicated interventional tools, and a broad selection of advanced vascular devices to improve procedural efficiency and redefine outcomes for your patients with aortic disease. They support each step of your procedure – as you decide, guide, treat and confirm treatment results.

SmartCT SoftTissue - CT-like visualization of soft tissue, bone and vascular structures
SmartCT Soft Tissue is an X-ray acquisition technique that generates a CT-like visualization of soft tissue in relation to other structures during procedures – all controlled via the touch screen at the table. You can use the CT-like images to assess soft tissue, bone structure and stent deployment before, during and after interventional procedures. This technique is particularly useful to check for complications after (complex) EVAR procedures.
VesselNavigator – reduce need for contrast
VesselNavigator provides an intuitive and continuous 3D roadmap based on existing CTA and MRA datasets to guide you through vasculature during aortic procedures. One study1 showed an average of 170 ml contrast reduction during endovascular repair of complex aortic aneurysms with the use of VesselNavigator CTA image fusion guidance.2 Another study showed a reduction in average procedure time from 6.3 to 5.2 (1.1) hours during FEVAR/BEVAR with VesselNavigator CTA image fusion guidance.3
CX50 ultrasound system
A realistic visualization of arterial vasculature is required to effectively access the arterial system. Our integrated CX50 ultrasound system provides premium quality images of the radial artery and veins to support radial access interventions.
After one month of usage, we have passed the point where the clinical value of VesselNavigator outweighs the investment we made.”

The ability to treat one more patient per day, or in the future
This is just one of the many improvements in lab performance achieved by the Interventional Vascular Department at St. Antonius Hospital after installing the Azurion system. The first Azurion lab performance study achieved impressive results which have been verified by an independent third party.*

Aortic disease solutions
Philips Azurion
With Philips Azurion a breakthrough in workflow improvement has been realized, resulting in proven efficiency. With the ever growing number of patients with aortic disease, Azurion offers a number of workflow innovations designed to help vascular teams work efficiently and consistently, while maintaining a single-minded focus on the patient and managing radiation dose during interventions.
IVUS enhances disease assessment
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is a catheter-based imaging technology that allows physicians to visualize blood vessels from the inside out to aid assessment of presence and extent of disease. IVUS helps to decide, guide and confirm the right interventional treatment for each patient.
2D DSA with ClarityIQ technology
Visualizes high-definition images of vessels with outstanding vascular detail to support precise treatment strategies, navigation and follow-up.
