Key result
VesselNavigator 3D image fusion guidance during percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation significantly reduced median total contrast volume to 56 ml compared to 200 ml with traditional 2D angiography.

Three-dimensional image fusion guidance during percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation significantly reduces contrast use and procedural time compared to traditional angiographic methods.
Góreczny et al. (2016) conducted an observational in Right ventricular outflow tract dysfunction requiring percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (n=21). VesselNavigator 3D image fusion guidance vs. Two-dimensional angiography (2DA) or three-dimensional rotational angiography (3DRA) was evaluated on Total contrast volume (ml) (p=<0.001). VesselNavigator 3D image fusion guidance during percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation significantly reduced median total contrast volume to 56 ml compared to 200 ml with traditional 2D angiography.
