    Highlights from EuroPCR 2018  

     

    Thanks for joining us at EuroPCR 2018! Check below our key highlights in pictures!

     

    We were highlighting our integrated solutions in image guided therapy and ultrasound that enable seamless cardiovascular care, helping clinicians to find the optimal pathways for better clinical outcomes, as well as lowering costs and increasing patient and staff satisfaction.

    Hot topics of the week included the Late-breaking trial: two-year clinical outcome data from SYNTAX II and the health economic data which demonstrates that an iFR-guided strategy reduces costs and improves patient comfort compared to an FFR-guided strategy, while delivering consistent cost savings and patient outcomes.

     

    On-site at EuroPCR Philips showcased its advanced interventional imaging systems, smart devices, planning and navigation software, and services, including:

     

    Azurion, Philips’ next generation image-guided therapy platform, which enables clinicians to easily and confidently perform a range of routine and complex procedures, helping them to optimize interventional lab performance and provide superior care. A recent study demonstrated the significant clinical workflow and staff experience benefits of the platform.

    iFR Roadmap [1] exclusive to Philips' interventional labs, enables physicians to navigate coronary arteries and corresponding iFR data in real time. 

    Philips’ SyncVision iFR co-registration solution, which couples iFR physiology measurement pull-back results to the coronary angio and can be utilized in the stenting process when lesions are more complex.

       

    No bounds. Better healthcare.

    When it comes to health, people deserve the best. Yet despite advances, progress is too often slowed. By systems that can’t communicate. By data that gets locked in silos. By clinicians who can’t see the full picture fast enough and patients who feel lost in the system. 

     

    At Philips, we collaborate on designing innovations to seamlessly bring together people, data and technology for personalized, actionable insights. This results in bringing cardiovascular care professionals and their patients together through the integration of data and targeted information across the care continuum. 

     

    We aim to deliver seamless cardiovascular care and improved workflows to reduce variation in the standard of care, and to find the optimal pathways for better clinical outcomes, lower costs, and increased patient and staff satisfaction – that’s health with no bounds.
