Ready to use an ultra-low contrast approach in your practice? Contact us to get in touch with a sales representative in your area.
With advanced Philips imaging and proven physiology technologies, learn how you can confidently treat PCI patients with less contrast.
Dr. Ziad Ali at St. Francis Hospital & Heart Center treats cardiovascular patients with an ultra-low contrast approach.
Today’s advanced imaging and physiology technologies are enabling the delivery of precision PCI with much less imaging contrast than in the past, reducing the risk of AKI and opening the door to therapy in a group of patients commonly denied PCI.

During PCI procedures, the angiogram has known clinical limitations pertaining to its diagnostic accuracy. Additionally, contrast media used during coronary angiography is a nephrotoxin and a contributing factor in the development of contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) and hospital-acquired acute kidney injury (AKI).1 The need to implement efficient workflows while delivering safe and effective treatment has never been greater.
Philips offers an evolved solution of vascular imaging and physiology technologies. We provide clinicians with diagnostic and treatment options that not only optimize PCI procedures, but also reduce dependency on angiography and nephrotoxic imaging contrast.
