Structural Heart DiseaseEnable imaging for all patients

At the heart of our innovation is the patient. With our expansive AI-driven portfolio of integrated, comprehensive imaging solutions, we help harness the power of precision medicine, empowering clinicians to confidently manage the entire continuum of cardiovascular care - from early detection to post-procedure assessment. Designed to increase procedural consistency, improve visualization, and enhance workflow efficiency, we're setting a new standard in the treatment of structural heart disease (SHD), helping to improve both patient outcomes and overall hospital performance.

Advancing structural heart patient care and innovation through education, on-site support and services, collaborations and value partnerships along the entire care continuum.

TAVI/TAVR - Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

The increasing number of minimally invasive transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVI/TAVR) procedures highlights the need for enhanced procedural efficiency. By providing real-time guidance through live fluoroscopy, advanced 3D imaging techniques and system flexibility, we help to optimize and automate intra-operative TAVI guidance and workflows. Get insights into various TAVI interventions:

Optimized TAVR Workflow

Join the renowned structural heart team from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School, Boston (USA), as they perform a streamlined TAVR procedure guided by live fluoroscopy.

Valve-in-Valve TAVR with syngo Aortic Valve Guidance

Discover how the structural heart team at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School, Boston (USA), successfully performs a Valve-in-Valve TAVR procedure with cerebral protection, utilizing live fluoroscopy and advanced guidance from syngo Aortic Valve Guidance.

TAVI & TMViV guided by fusion imaging

Watch the cardiology team at the Heart Center Bonn (Germany) as they perform a TAVI & transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve implantation (TMViV) with guidance from of image fusion of CT-based planning and live fluoroscopy.

Mitral & Tricuspid Valve Interventions

Comprehensive imaging solutions play an important role in invasive transcatheter mitral and tricuspid valve interventions due to the need for detailed anatomical visualization and real-time guidance. With the full portfolio of integrated, comprehensive imaging solutions we enable clinicians to manage these complex and challenging interventions. Get insights into mitral and tricuspid interventions:
