Investigator-Initiated Research (IIR) Areas of Interest

 

Philips Image Guided Therapy Devices (IGTD) will consider all relevant research proposals that meet the IIR study criteria. Please find examples of Philips’ IGTD current areas of interest below.

Note: Funding is limited. Support for studies will be considered from both a scientific and financial lens.

 

Peripheral Vasculature

Peripheral Artery Disease and Peripheral Venous Disease treatment and Visual Guidance including:

• Procedural optimization of the Tack Endovascular System
• Combination use of Philips portfolio devices in real world diverse patient populations
• Personalization of atherectomy strategy in the context of multiple available options 
• Intravascular guidance of endovascular procedures
• Health economic outcomes and analysis
• Procedural best practices, efficiencies, and long-term clinical outcomes
• Use of Philips device portfolio in all stages of venous disease
• Use of Tack Endovascular System for post-PTA dissection repair

 

Interventional Cardiology

• Clinical and economic outcomes of Philips imaging, physiology, and/or therapeutic tools in CAD
• New applications/indications of Philips portfolio devices, i.e., beyond stable PCI
• Use of Philips tools to assess or improve emerging cath lab therapies
• Personalization of treatment strategies using Philips diagnostic or therapeutic tools    

 

Heart Rhythm Management

• Managing Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device (CIED) leads - lead extraction for infectious and non-infectious indications, managing patients with CIED leads
• Complex inferior vena cava (IVC) filter identification and retrieval
• Intracardiac echocardiology (ICE) for structural heart interventions
