Cardiac Cases
This case illustrates how High-frequency Ultrasound Imaging (HFUS) can be used to identify or locate aortic dissections. Early discovery and precise location of this highly critical incident can be very significant to the outcome of the procedure. -
Vascular Cases
This case shows that the expectation of a huge increase in flow is not always met in every case. However, a significant change in the flow curve can be seen. HFUS revealed intima flaps that are not visible on angiography. When checking the clamping sites and the intima steps in the ICA and ECA after CEA, minor residual intima flaps were detected but did not lead to a revision. -
Cardiac Cases
This case from the REQUEST Study illustrates how High-frequency Ultrasound Imaging (HFUS) can be used to identify soft, non-palpable plaque in the aorta, thus avoiding unnecessary manipulation of the affected areas. Detecting this potential issue allowed the surgeon to change the plan accordingly. Patient information and past medical history:77-year-old male, BMI 24.1 -
Vascular Cases
Patient medical history: Patient with PAD and Fontaine stage IV on the right side. See image 1. Initial surgery: Fem-pop bypass. The surgery went uneventfully and the TTFM showed 41 ml/min with a PI of 2,9 after ligation of all residual saphenous vein side branches that were visible on angio, as seen in image 2. -
Cardiac Cases
This case illustrates how High-frequency Ultrasound Imaging (HFUS) can be used during surgery to identify plaque in the aorta, avoid complications, and improve graft patency. -
Vascular Cases
This case illustrates a low-flow situation of a Cimino fistula on the left forearm with a juxta-anastomotic stenosis. Transit Time Flow Measurement (TTFM) and High-frequency Ultrasound Imaging (HFUS) served as completion control. -
Vascular Cases
This case example shows a routine fem-pop case where the surgeon assessed the quality of the bypass procedure using all 3 measurement technologies provided by the MiraQ system; High-frequency ultrasound imaging, TTFM and PW Doppler measurements. -
Cardiac Cases
This case illustrates how High-frequency Ultrasound Imaging (HFUS) can be used during surgery to detect intramural vessels, to avoid complications, and improve graft patency. -
Vascular Cases
This case illustrates how ultrasound imaging enables more correct detection of higher-grade defects than angiography after CEA. The case is provided by the authors of the CIDAC study. -
Cardiac Cases
This case illustrates how High-frequency Ultrasound Imaging (HFUS) can be used during surgery to detect unexpected issues with the conduit to avoid complications and improve graft patency.
