New Cardiovascular Horizons (NCVH), a leading peripheral intervention conference focused on peripheral artery disease with a special emphasis on critical limb ischemia, will feature four live cases using Toshiba’s Infinix-i vascular X-ray systems. |

Toshiba America Medical Systems' Infinix-i vascular X-ray systems are designed to facilitate better physician workflow and support improved patient care so as to enable physicians to transition between cardiac and peripheral work seamlessly during a single procedure.
The live cases using the Infinix-i systems to treat critical limb ischemia will take place on June 7, 2012. Two live cases will be performed by Dr Frank Bunch at Springhill Medical Center, Mobile, Alabaham, USA, using Toshiba’s Infinix DP-i (dual plane) system, while two more will be performed by Dr Oscar Rosales at Memorial Hermann, Houston, Texas, USA, using the Infinix VF-i single plane system.
"Acting as extensions of the physician's eyes and hands, the Infinix DP-i and VF-i single plane are two versatile systems that allow for both cardiovascular and peripheral procedures to be performed in a shared cath lab," said Stephen Bumb, Director, X-ray Vascular Business Unit, Toshiba. "Giving physicians access to the patient from either side of the table leads to faster, more precise evaluation and treatment of limb ischemia for improved patient outcomes."
The live cases, focused on salvaging critical limbs, will showcase the systems' ability to meet the needs of physicians during peripheral intervention. Toshiba's Infinix-i systems feature an industry-leading five-axis positioner, allowing for unrestricted patient access to facilitate advanced, complex procedures with ease. When combined with Toshiba's proprietary Next Generation Advanced Image Processing (AIP), Infinix-i provides improved visualization, helping clinicians more quickly and accurately diagnose and treat patients. |
