Introducing the world’s first mini 4D TEE probe: Early experiences in structural heart interventions
“We are going towards less invasive procedures with the same safety. Without general anesthesia and without the need of a conventional probe, it makes everything go faster and quicker.”
Dr. Marta Sitges, MD, Ph.D.
Hospital Clinic de Barcelona, Spain
The role of advanced imaging technology in structural heart interventions
“There is a new technology called 4D Markers, which we can place on 2D and 3D echo images. The interventional cardiologist can view the 4D Markers onscreen and use them as a target, so he or she knows where we are asking them to direct a wire or catheter without having to verbalize it or struggle to communicate that information.”
Dr. Praveen Mehrotra, MD, FACC, FASE

Navigating unreachable hearts: Redefining accessibility and safety with the 9VT-D mini 3D TEE probe
“I see this as moving the field forward by having a device that will potentially cause less irritation, injury to the esophagus, but at the same time provide imaging that is comparable and adequate for a successful completion of the procedure. I think the size of the probe is going to be a big part of this entire discussion.”
Dr. Jyothy Puthumana, MD
Northwestern Medicine’s Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute, US
Breakthrough imaging for our most precious patients: Take a closer look at the world’s first mini 3D TEE probe – 9VT-D.
“Now that good quality 4D echo imaging is easy and accessible, I think our patients deserve that detailed imaging evaluation before they go into the operating room or the cath lab.”
