Fujifilm Introduces First-of-its-Kind Transducer for On-Pump Intracardiac Echocardiography Imaging (OPIE) for Septal Myectomy
Lexington, MA,, April 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation, a leading provider of diagnostic and enterprise imaging solutions, announced the launch of its first-of-kind OPIE Transducer for on-pump intracardiac echocardiography (OPIE) for septal myectomy.
- Lexington, MA,, April 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation, a leading provider of diagnostic and enterprise imaging solutions, announced the launch of its first-of-kind OPIE Transducer for on-pump intracardiac echocardiography (OPIE) for septal myectomy.
- However, with OPIE, a thin transducer is passed into the heart during the myectomy where images of the patient’s septal thickness can be seen in real-time.
- A study featuring Fujifilm’s OPIE Transducer highlights that the system provides established imaging to aid in septal myectomy procedures compared to TEE and transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE).
- Real-time measurements of the interventricular septal thickness are crucial during septal myectomy to avoid creating a ventricular septal defect while resecting enough myocardium.
