USING THERMAL IMAGING FOR CARDIAC DIAGNOSIS Welcome to the Opgal / AngioTherm Medical Web site.ÿ ÿ ÿÿÿ Opgal / AngioTherm Medical is dedicated to providing the cardiac surgeon with a safe, reliable means of verifying blood flow through coronary arteries after successful completion of coronary bypass surgery.ÿ This is accomplished with the IVA-2000, a non-invasive, highly-sensitive Thermal Imaging System.ÿÿ ÿÿÿ While myocardial revascularization has been employed for many years, the evaluation of actual graft patency, anastomosis patency, and blood flow through the native vessels could only be accomplished with indirect flow detector techniques or ionizing radiation with a contrast medium.ÿ The development of Thermal Coronary Angiography (TCA) addressed these needs.ÿ Utilizing technology originally developed for our military and then enhanced for use in cardiac surgery, the IVA-2000 Thermal Imaging System provides the surgeon with the ability to view the blood flow through the graft, proximal and distal anastomosis, and native coronary arteries without ionizing radiation or a contrast medium.ÿÿ ÿÿÿ This non-invasive technique is safe both for the operating room staff and the patient as the real-time images are acquired through the use of a highly-sensitive thermal camera.ÿ The same technique can be utilized to locate native arteries in a re-operation, thereby decreasing the length of time required by this type of operation.ÿ ÿÿÿ The blood flow throw transplanted coronary ostia can instantly be verified.ÿ This technique is extremely useful for both pediatric and adult patients.ÿ The image clarity and non-invasiveness make TCA an ideal modality for viewing blood flow in a button-hole anastomosis utilized in transplantation of coronary ostia.ÿÿ ÿÿ The IVA 2000 thermal imaging system will take you and your surgical team into the next millennium.ÿ
