Know What to Treat
FFR allows more accurate identification of hemodynamically significant stenoses, reducing rates of death, myocardial infarction and repeat revascularization1.
- FFR-guided PCI significantly reduces mortality and results in reduced procedural and healthcare costs, without prolonging the cath lab procedure compared to angiography alone1
- Recognize lesions that can cause ischemia
- Determine if blood flow is sufficiently restored after balloon or stent deployment
In addition, Wi-Box™ provides a wireless connection to ILUMIEN, and is permanently installed between the AO-transducer and hemodynamic recording system. FFR is always available - all labs - anytime.
Know How to Treat
The ILUMIEN system incorporates the most advanced OCT technology for enhanced anatomical assessment and PCI optimization.
- Optimize stent implantation, strut coverage, neointimal response and follow-up2-3
- Evaluate stent placement, expansion and apposition
- Differentiate and classify plaque4
- Evaluate lumen area quickly, with accurate automated measurements
The ILUMIEN system has 10 times better resolution and is 20 times faster than IVUS (acquires full vessel segment pull-back in under 5 seconds)5-9.
