Abstract:
The present invention relates to a system for performing and monitoring minimally invasive interventions with an x-ray unit, in which at least one x-ray source and one x-ray detector can traverse a circular track through an angle range, an ECG recording unit, an imaging catheter, a mapping unit with a mapping catheter and an ablation unit with an ablation catheter. The system comprises a control and evaluation unit with interfaces for the units and catheters, which enable an exchange of data with the control and evaluation unit. The control and evaluation unit is designed for processing measurement or image data which it receives from the catheters and units, and for controlling the catheters and units for the capture of the measurement or image data. The workflow from the examination through to the therapy, particularly with regard to the treatment of tachycardial arrhythmias, is covered completely and continuously by the proposed system.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a training and/or therapy system for the human and/or animal body, at least consisting of: a plurality of training and/or therapy devices on which physical work is generated by means of muscular force as a function of an adjustable resistance apparatus, a computer unit by means of which all the training and/or therapy devices are networked, a plurality of reader devices on which an identification element of the patient who is doing the training or is to receive therapy can be read in, with each training and/or therapy device and the computer unit being contactable via a reader device, a data memory in which the data of the patients and their training schedules are stored; at the same time the work of setting the resistances on the adjustable resistance apparatuses of the training and/or therapy devices and the documentation during the training and/or therapy are performed automatically.
Abstract:
An x-ray diagnostic apparatus has an x-ray radiator, a control device connected thereto, a radiation detector and a patient-positioning table. The x-ray diagnostic apparatus has a device that calculates the BMI (body mass index) of the patient to be examined from detection of the body length and the weight. The device is connected with the control device to influence the parameters associated with obtaining an x-ray image.
Abstract:
An intravenous pacemaker electrode comprises an electrode tip provided for transmission of stimulation pulses to the heart as well as at least one fixing element provided for fixing the electrode tip to the heart, of which the form and/or arrangement can be changed relative to the electrode tip, as well as a suitable actuation element for magnetic actuation of the fixing element.
Abstract:
An intravenous pacemaker electrode has an electrode tip designed to release a drug, where the drug contains at least one of the active substances sirolimus, paclitaxel, everolimus, fibrin, rapamycin, and tacrolimus.
Abstract:
An intravenous pacemaker electrode comprises an electrode cable comprising a line, a duct and an insulating sleeve as well as an electrode head attached to the distal end of the line in order to transmit stimulation pulses, with an ultrasound catheter being moveable in the duct, and comprising a thread-like guide element as well as an ultrasound measurement element attached to its distal end.
Abstract:
Guidewire for catheters which can be inserted into cavities, preferably coronary vessels of humans or animals, said guidewire being provided with electromagnetic receive or transmit locate to position its position in conjunction with corresponding external electromagnetic transmit or receive antennas, as well as with signal lines guiding the processing unit controlling the transmit antennas or transmit coils.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a patient bed having a frame (1) for supporting a mattress (3). To enable the insertion of an X-ray detector (9), it is proposed in accordance with the invention that a tensioning device (5a, 5b) is provided to secure a fabric-like carrier means (4) resting on a mattress (3) and a lifting device (6) is provided for lifting a patient (8) accommodated on the taut carrier means (4) from the mattress (3), so that an X-ray detector (9) can be inserted in a gap (10) formed between the lifted carrier means (4) and the mattress (3).
Abstract:
Device for removing a complete vascular occlusion using a CTO catheter, at the distal end of which are disposed stretching tongs and IVUS monitoring, whereby the CTO catheter is combined with an IVUS catheter to form an integrated unit.
Abstract:
Device for removing a total vascular occlusion with the aid of a CTO catheter with expansion tongs arranged at the front end and OCT monitoring, the CTO catheter being combined with an OCT catheter to form an integrated unit.
