• Visualization of the anatomical shape and orientation of the LAA in 3D
• Diameters along the LAA and the possibility to indicate the ostium of the LAA
• Simulated angioview that shows the location of the ostium

The Left Atrial Appendage Workflow provides a fast assessment of the anatomical shape and orientation of the LAA in 3D.

The application provides diameters along the LAA and lets you indicate a ring to mark the ostium of the appendage. The Angio View is essential for planning of the procedure. Additionally, Volume Rendered and long-axis views help to understand the anatomical structures in the atrium. Thrombus will easily be recognized throughout the different views.

Both the density of contrast in the aortic root and ventricle are used to determine the qRA index. The dynamic color map clearly visualizes the severity and extend of regurgitation. 

Quantification of Regurgitation

The qRA module lets you:

• Truly quantify aortic regurgitation during the procedure
• All based on X-ray, no ultrasound or MRI required

 CAAS A-Valve qRA is for research purposes only.

• Minimal Lumen Diameter and Area
• Percentage of stenosis based on EEM (IVUS) and reference frame
• Plaque Volume
• Neo-Intimal Plaque Volume
• Malapposition Volume

The OCT workflow offers detailed analysis of the number of stent struts, covered struts and malapposed struts.

The software automatically fills the report with the available results and screenshots. Export the report as a pdf or as a DICOM file to PACS. The XML export facilitates integration with PACS.

CAAS IntraVascular facilitates fast data transfer from your PACS or IVUS/OCT console and lets you analyze the data fast and efficient. A dedicated workflow assistant guides you through the analysis which makes CAAS IntraVascular very easy to use. Important results are automatically stored in the report, which you can customize to your needs.

Key Product Features:

• Local data storage with PACS connectivity
• Automatic longitudinal and cross-sectional contours
• Easily perform contour adjustments, which the software automatically propagates in 3D space
• Automatic patient report generation

Combining angiography with IVUS / OCT provides the user with a detailed view of the lesion and its exact location in the coronary tree. This facilitates optimal assessment of the stent’s landing zone. Co-registration is available in the cath lab as soon as the pullback has finished.

Key product features:

• Two way co-registration of angiography with IVUS / OCT. 
• Plan the intervention: indicate the stent size and its position. 
• Add bookmarks to indicate important vessel sections. 
• Full access to all functionalities in CAAS QCA 3D and INDEC echoPlaque

Integration in your cathlab:

Co-registration is vendor dependent and works with all major cath lab, IVUS and OCT manufactures. Co-registration is integrated easily into your standard cath lab workflow. The angiographic images will be sent directly from the X-ray system to the co-registration workstation.

During the pullback, the images from the IVUS / OCT system will be streamed to the co-registration workstation. After the pullback has finished, the co-registration is ready to use. 

Co-registration is limited to investigational use only.

• Detailed annulus information such as perimeters, surfaces, angles, etc.
• 3D distances between anatomical landmarks and the Mitral Valve

After loading the data, you’re only one mouse click away from a clear view of the mitral valve in multiple viewing orientations. You will be able to trace and evaluate the annulus of the mitral valve, to get a clear view of the complex saddle shaped structure. Furthermore, the ED and ES phase are automatically determined.

Key Product Features:

• A clear view of the valve is provided after just one click
• Easily trace and evaluate the complex structure of the mitral valve
• Visualize the dynamic mitral valve, left ventricle and left atrium
• Assess the mitral apparatus and perform measurements
• Determine access route challenges
• Determine the optimal C-arm position with the simulated angio view
