Certainty in Cardiac Surgery
Shouldn’t bypass surgery end with certainty?
Be certain. With completion angiography directly in the OR.
According to recent studies, 12% of venous bypass grafts do not work optimally. Checking the results with completion angiography directly in the OR can prevent infarctions and shows that anastomoses are working properly. syngo DynaCT from Siemens allows you to see fine vessels generally not visible with an ultrasound system or mobile C-arm. Giving you more certainty, and saving your patient a trip to the CT.
For a greater peace of mind after bypass surgery.
