摘要:
Device for implementing a cutting balloon intervention by means of a “cutting balloon” catheter, at the distal end of which is disposed an inflatable balloon with axially running blades mounted thereon, and which has IVUS monitoring, whereby the cutting balloon catheter is combined with an IVUS catheter to form an integrated module.

An imaging apparatus comprising a ring-shaped gantry is provided. The gantry has a rotor arrangement rotating therein and a radiation source as well as at least one radiation detector. The gantry has at least one gantry segment which can be detached from the ring shape to allow the gantry to be opened laterally. The gantry is arranged on a supporting structure so as to be movable in space. The supporting structure is a floor, wall or ceiling mounted articulated-arm robot having at least four, preferably six, degrees of freedom of movement. The gantry has at least two radiation sources disposed offset by an angle on the rotor arrangement and associated with each of which is at least one radiation detector.

For particularly effective stem cell therapy a nanoparticle is provided. The nanoparticle has a first element consisting of a magnetic material, a support or envelope element consisting of a biodegradable material, a first substance containing an x-ray contrast agent, and a second substance containing stem cells. The stem cells are embodied such that they can be used for angiogenesis or for myogenesis.
摘要:
A guide wire featuring a tip is introduced into a vessel. An expander tool featuring a tip is introduced by pushing it over the guide wire into the vessel. For the expander tool introduced into the vessel at least one image is output to the operator of the expander tool via a viewing device. The image is a representation of the area of the inside of the vessel which, seen in a local direction of advance of the expander tool, lies directly in front of the tip of the expander tool. The image is determined on the basis of at least one image dataset which was acquired by at least one sensor. The at least one sensor is arranged at the tip of the guide wire or on the expander tool behind its tip.
摘要:
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.
摘要:
A system and method of diagnosing kidney syndromes using an intravenous pyelogram (IVP) is described. The system includes an X-ray imaging device and an in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) device. The IVD device is used to identify risk factors such as sensitivity to contrast agents, or to indicate or rule out other syndromes which may have symptoms similar to kidney malfunction. The level of blood components such as creatinine may be used, in conjunction with other medical data and IVD tests, to determine a risk score for the patient. The risk score may be used to recommend modifications to a baseline procedure such as change in the volume or type of contrast agent, the number of X-rays, or the performance of post-procedure dialysis.
摘要:
A catheter for removing plaque in a blood vessel and a medical apparatus comprising a catheter of this kind are proposed. The catheter has a catheter sheath, a cutter for removing plaque disposed in the region of the distal end of the catheter sheath, a catheter tip disposed in the region of the distal end of the catheter sheath and bendable relative to the catheter sheath, and at least one imaging sensor arranged in the region of the distal end of the catheter sheath or in the bendable catheter tip. The image signals recorded by means of the catheter are transmitted for display purposes to an image processing and playback device. A method for assisting a minimally invasive intervention to remove plaque in a blood vessel by the catheter is also provided.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for diagnosing and treating stroke is described. A preliminary diagnosis of a stroke and the type of stroke is made based on a patient anamnesis and an in-vitro diagnostic device (IVD), configured to analyze biomarkers in a patient blood sample. In one example, the diagnosis is confirmed using a C-arm X-ray device and, if a hemorrhagic stroke is confirmed, interventional therapy may be performed using the C-arm X-ray device to guide a catheter or other interventional device. Where an ischemic stroke is confirmed, the appropriate thrombolytic therapy may be administered. The IVD device may be located in an emergency vehicle, and the test may be results transmitted to the medical facility while the patient is in transit.
摘要:
At least one embodiment of the present invention refers to a method, a system, a computer readable medium and/or a computer program product for optimizing a clinical pathway. The clinical pathway includes a sequence of actions. In at least one embodiment, he method aims at finding the best suitable and optimal following action for a respective action. There is provided a set of rules, patient information data and optimization criteria. After having received a symptom or an action there is deduced a set of possible following actions. After having deduced all possible following actions, these possible following actions are evaluated by the optimization criteria. After evaluation the optimal following action is suggested as a result.
摘要:
There is described an x-ray system with an x-ray source, an x-ray detector and at least one industrial robot having at least three, in particular six, axes of rotation, in which the x-ray source and/or the x-ray detector are/is arranged, directly or by means of a bearer, on the industrial robot, and where the industrial robot is constructed to be mobile, in particular is arranged on a device trolley.
