utilizes image-guided procedures to deliver minimally invasive diagnostics and treatments
IR
technique allowed for coaxial replacement of smaller bore needles and catheters
Seldinger technique in 1953
medical procedure to obtain safe access to blood vessels and other hollow organs. It is named after Sven Ivar Seldinger
Seldinger wire technique
groundwork for IR advancements was laid by Amplatz and colleagues
1960s
Studies began to demonstrate the efficacy of catheter angiography as a minimally invasive treatment.
1970s
The publication introduced the preliminary results of endovascular stent graft placement, allowing a new percutaneous treatment method for aortic aneurysms
1980s
Advancements in cross-sectional imaging led to the popularization of CT-guided procedures
1990s
aimed at changing a process or situation, for example improving health or changing how a disease develops and treated.
Interventional
Flexible wire that serves as a guide for catheters.
Allows for navigation through blood vessels or ducts
Essential for accurate placement of devices or catheters.
guide wires
Thin tubes used to deliver fluids or
perform procedures.
Access vascular systems, drain fluids, deliver medications, or perform diagnostic studies
Key for minimally invasive procedures
catheters
Catheters with an inflatable balloon
at the tip.
Used in angioplasty to dilate narrowed or obstructed blood vessels.
Critical for treating vascular diseases
balloon catheters
Small mesh-like tubes inserted into blood vessels.
Used to keep vessels open after angioplasty or other procedures.
Prevents restenosis
Stents
Iodine-based or gadolinium-based solutions used in imaging.
Enhance visibility of structures in imaging studies (e.g., X-rays, CT scans).
Key for accurate diagnosis and isualization during procedures.
contrast media
Devices for real-time imaging
Guide procedures and monitor progress.
Essential for safety and effectiveness during interventions.
imaging modalities
Tools for diagnosing and treating heart rhythm disorders.
Includes mapping systems, ablation catheters, and heart monitors.
Crucial in cardiac interventions for arrhythmias
ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY EQUIPMENT
Tools that destroy tissue causing problems
Used to treat various conditions, including tumors and arrhythmias.
Offers minimally invasive treatment options
ablation device
Devices to control bleeding during procedures.
Includes bipolar coagulators and laser sealers for tissue ablation.
Essential for minimizing complications during interventions
COAGULATION DEVICES:
Devices that remove fluids or debris from the surgical site.
Keeps the field clear during procedures.
Important for visibility and hygiene.
SUCTION DEVICES:
Kits that include needles, IV lines, and access ports.
Establish intravenous access for medication or fluid administration.
Fundamental for patient management during procedures.
IV AND ACCESS KIT
Devices that monitor vital signs (e.g., ECG, blood pressure).
Ensures patient safety throughout the
Vital for patient care and emergency response.
MONITORING EQUIPMENT
Measure the electrical activity of the heart and are used to detect arrhythmias and other cardiac issues.
Electrocardiogram (ECG) Monitors
Measure blood oxygen saturation levels and heart rate non-invasively, often using a sensor placed on a fingertip or earlobe.
Pulse Oximeters
Can be manual (sphygmomanometer) or automatic devices that measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
Blood Pressure Monitors
Can be digital thermometers used to monitor a patient’s body temperature.
Temperature Monitors
