Philips introduces industry-first cath lab integration that automatically synchronizes pre-operative CT with C-arm movement, paving the way for CT-guided PCI

October 27, 2025 New integration of Philips Advanced Visualization Workspace* with the Azurion image-guided therapy platform automatically synchronizes CT images with C-arm movement, supporting workflow efficiency and additional anatomical insights in PCI procedures1 San Francisco, USA and Amsterdam, The Netherlands – At the annual Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT 2025) meeting, Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, today introduced an industry-first innovation that integrates pre-operative CT data directly into the cath lab workflow. This new capability, available through the integration of Philips’ Advanced Visualization Workspace (AVW) with the Azurion image-guided therapy system, marks a first step towards CT-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), a minimally invasive procedure to open narrowed coronary arteries and restore blood flow to the heart.The new capability, Follow C-arm, automatically synchronizes the 3D reconstruction of coronary arteries with the movement of the Azurion C-arm. As the C-arm angulation changes, the CT volume rotates in real time to match, giving interventionalists the 3D anatomical view without manual interaction. This seamless connection helps clinicians combine the detailed insights of CT imaging with the flexibility of live X-ray guidance inside the cath lab. The combined AVW–Azurion approach aims to provide enhanced anatomical insights to guide complex PCI procedures, publications have shown that leveraging CCTA may lead to reduction in contrast medium use and radiation dose during interventions.1Supporting the shift towards CT-guided PCICoronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is increasingly used in global clinical guidelines as a first-line tool for the diagnosis and planning of coronary artery disease. With more patients now arriving at the cath lab with prior CT scans, physicians are seeking ways to incorporate this information into their interventional workflows. By integrating CT data directly into Azurion, Philips is helping interventionalists expand the use of CT beyond diagnosis and planning, supporting a future in which CT-guided PCI becomes standard practice.“By bringing pre-operative CT into the cath lab and linking it directly to the movement of the C-arm, Philips is delivering an industry-first that helps interventionalists prepare for and execute PCI procedures with greater confidence,” said Mark Stoffels, Business Leader Image-Guided Therapy Systems at Philips. “This seamless integration is a significant step towards CT-guided PCI, aligning with our commitment to improving workflow efficiency and advancing patient care in interventional cardiology.”The launch builds on the global success of Philips’ Azurion image-guided therapy platform, the world’s leading system designed for seamless integration of advanced applications. Since its introduction in 2017, Azurion has been used to treat more than 6.4 million patients annually in over 80 countries, helping physicians perform minimally invasive procedures with greater confidence and efficiency.For more information about Philips’ presence at TCT, please visit the Philips TCT 2025 landing page.

Conavi Medical to Highlight Novasight Hybrid™ Imaging at TCT 2025
Company to Participate in Educational Imaging Sessions and Feature Hybrid IVUS/OCT Imaging TechnologyTORONTO, Oct. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Conavi Medical Inc. (TSXV: CNVI) (OTCQB: CNVIF), a commercial-stage medical device company focused on intravascular imaging solutions, today announced that it will participate in the upcoming Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) 2025 conference, taking place October 25 – 28, 2025, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, California. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about Conavi’s hybrid intravascular imaging technology, which combines intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) to provide complementary insights into coronary anatomy. Conavi will share clinical images acquired using its first-generation Novasight Hybrid™ imaging system and provide information on the potential role of hybrid IVUS/OCT imaging in guiding complex percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). “TCT provides an important forum for clinical education and scientific exchange in interventional cardiology,” said Thomas Looby, President and CEO of Conavi Medical. “We look forward to engaging with physicians and thought leaders to discuss how hybrid intravascular imaging can enhance procedural decision-making and improve patient outcomes.” The next-generation version of Conavi’s Novasight Hybrid system was submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for 510(k) clearance in September 2025. Conavi’s first-generation version previously received FDA 510(k) clearance and Health Canada approval and was used at seven luminary cardiovascular care hospitals in North America. Intravascular Imaging Education SessionsConavi will also participate in the Intravascular Imaging & Training sessions at the Imaging & Training Center, held throughout the day on Sunday, October 26, and Monday, October 27. These physician-led sessions will feature expert case presentations illustrating how intravascular imaging can be used to guide challenging PCI procedures, including those involving calcified lesions, acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and in-stent restenosis (ISR).
