New Philips Mini TEE Ultrasound Transducer Helps Improve Cardiac Care for More Patients

DAIC

Cardiovascular ultrasound has played a key role in the evolution of early diagnosis of structural heart disease, led by a technology pioneered by Philips: the ‘transesophageal echocardiography’ (TEE) ultrasound transducer. TEE helps cardiologists by providing highly detailed images of the heart and its internal structures.

What is Ultrafast Ultrasound Imaging?

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Ultrasound techniques currently used in echocardiography uses frame rates from 30-150 frames/s. This limits its temporal resolution for very short lived events, especially in pediatric and congenital heart disease with faster heart rates compared to adults [1]. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2024 Jan 2;83(1):63-81. doi: 10.1016/j.jacc.2023.10.025.

Systematic approach to obtain axillary arterial access for pediatric heart catheterizations

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Background Axillary arterial access (AAA) in pediatric heart catheterizations is undervalued. We aimed ultrasound-guided punctures in the proximal two-thirds of axillary arteries with diameters ≥2 mm to insert 7 cm/4 Fr short introducers.
