The MRI Ready IDE study prospectively examined the safety and functionality of a previously implanted MRI Ready ICD system when a 1.5-T MRI scan was being performed. To the best of the present authors’ knowledge, this is the first study that evaluated the ease of programming and the collabora...
(ACR) MRI safety requirements. The probability of risk occurrence and severity of hazards were assigned a score ranging from improbable (1) to very likely (5) and minimal (1) to irreversible effect (5). The weekly quality control test results obtained from both units were measured against ...
it is equipped with advanced devices like neuronavigation system, high-end surgical microscope, surgical robot, and neuroendoscope. This setup embodies an integrated and comprehensive medical approach where "the patient remains stationary while the equipment moves", effectively ensuring patient safety and...
Mri volumetric and safety data Mean percent changes from baseline hippocampal, whole-brain, and ventricular volumes were comparable among the treatment groups (Table 5). Retrospective review of baseline and routine week 24 MRI safety scans revealed 3 cases of apparent VE (1 in the 25-mg dose gr...
Medtronic announced today that it received FDA approval for its Aurora EV-ICD™ MRI SureScan™ Extravascular Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator and Epsila EV™ MRI SureScan™ defibrillation lead. According to the press release: “The Aurora EV-ICD system is the first-of-its-kind to prov...
The primary endpoint was safety and feasibility, assessed by adverse events (AEs). Secondary endpoints included LBP relief (VAS), physical function (ODI, PROMIS CAT-Physical Function), emotional and psychosocial health (PROMIS CATs), and the presence and severity of facet synovitis (MRI). ...
