Accelerating the trend towards less invasive procedures. Four major trends are driving the demand for less invasive cardiovascular procedures: improved non-invasive diagnostic and therapeutic techniques; cost-containment pressures from payors; increasing incidence of vascular and structural heart disease; and patient demand for less invasive procedures which require shorter hospital stays and allow more rapid recovery. This shift to less invasive procedures requires diagnostic modalities that can provide more comprehensive clinical information than angiography. Our IVUS products offer continuous, real-time, three-dimensional imaging, plaque visualization, color-coded identification of plaque composition, and automatic drawing of lumen and plaque borders allowing for automatic vessel sizing. Our FM products offer physicians a simple pressure and flow based method to determine whether stenting or additional percutaneous intervention is required. We believe our combination of IVUS enhancements and functional assessment is instrumental in facilitating less invasive procedures
