The software allows cardiologists to quickly view arteries and gather information during a procedure, allowing for a more thorough assessment, according to a March 6 news release from Lehigh Valley Health Network. 

Dr. Singh, an interventional cardiologist at Lehigh Valley Heart and Vascular Institute, and members of the catheterization laboratory completed the procedure. 

The 3DStent software can provide both 3D and multi-slice images for physicians to see the stent from all angles, take area and diameter measurements and can provide one acquisition without needing to insert any additional devices, the release said.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
