The Kissing technique is used with
2 Hiryu™ Ballons (Terumo, Tokyo, Japan)
and a last StentViz is performed to
assess the stent struts at the level of
the bifurcation.

StentViz is a fully automated
processing that improves
clearly the image quality of
stents from cine X-ray
acquisition and is applicable
almost without any additional
steps or costs.

StentViz can help you clearly
visualize stent borders and
details from images in which
the stent is barely visible to
give you critical clinical
information.

Combined with GE’s excellent
image quality, OneTouchQA
Tableside Stenosis Analysis
and integrated Innova IVUS,
StentViz gives physicians a
valuable visualization toolkit
to help improve the long-term
success of the interventional
procedure.

The specificities of StentViz
versus other advanced
techniques are the elastic
registration and the full
automation, that provide
exceptional image quality
and make it fit perfectly
within the cathlab workflow.

The provisional T stenting
procedure results in the successful
angioplasty of the proximal LAD
and 1st diagonal bifurcation lesion.
