Neurointerventional Biplane Angiography System

About Neurointerventional Biplane Angiography System 

This image-guided therapy system is a key part of the diagnosis and treatment pathway for stroke, where every minute counts in conserving the patient’s quality of life. This interventional system is also used to precisely plan and carry out complex neurovascular procedures such as the repair of brain aneurysms and congenital brain and spine vascular defects/AVM. It helps care teams make the right decisions faster, treat more patients and achieve better outcomes. 

How Neurointerventional Biplane Angiography System Works 

Image beam rotation assures patient-oriented images from every angulation and rotation, eliminating the need to pivot the table or reposition the patient. It provides a 3D roadmap of every brain vessel for precise surgical treatment. 

Preparation 

A single injection of X-ray dye allows an endovascular neurosurgeon to view the brain and spine arteries. It provides a highly detailed roadmap of every brain vessel for precise surgical treatment.  

Inserting the Devices 

Tiny devices and catheters are inserted through a small port in your wrist or groin and guided to blood vessels in your brain where they are needed. Sometimes devices as thin as hair, called coils, are placed inside the brain aneurysms.  

Restoring Blood Flow 

The system allows the medical team to perform catheter-based procedures to disrupt or remove blood clots (mechanical thrombectomy) and/or inject clot-busting agents. This is also called intra-arterial treatment (IAT). 

Benefits 

The biplane improves outcomes for:

  • Stroke 
  • Brain aneurysm 
  • Brain vascular malformation
  • Spine vascular malformation/AVM
  • Brain tumor
  • Spine tumor
  • Other neurological conditions 

This minimally invasive system provides hope for patients with blockages in the brain’s blood vessels. Treatment with the neurointerventional biplane means patients have less time in the hospital and a faster recovery.
