Adult structural heart

Potentially eliminating the need for general anesthesia

3D ultrasound visualization is critical in improving diagnostic confidence, understanding patients’ heart morphology, and guiding interventions. The world’s most compact 3D mini TEE probe is suitable for a broad range of interventional cardiology procedures, potentially eliminating the need for general anesthesia in adult patients.

Pediatrics

Address the needs of your most challenging patients

The assessment of pediatric patients with congenital heart diseases requires a deep understanding of the hearts’ cardiac structures. 3D TEE can provide a more realistic visualization compared to 2D TEE. Use of 3D TEE may improve pre-surgical planning, offer guidance, and help in functional assessment of the heart. The miniaturization of the 3D TEE makes it usable for patients as small as 5 kg.

Innovation. Smaller probe. Better access.

We strive to tackle the biggest challenges faced by echo imagers in their daily practice, so that we can create a future where healthcare has no limits. To achieve this vision, we are proud to pioneer groundbreaking solutions such as the 9VT-D, which features the first and most compact 3D mini TEE probe available on the market¹.

Structural heart procedures

Some patients cannot tolerate an adult 3D TEE probe, which limits access to minimally invasive therapies. General anesthesia requires more time and staff support. 9VT-D aids wider access to minimally invasive therapies to help improve diagnostic confidence.

Pediatrics procedures

With 9VT-D, the world’s most compact 3D mini-probe and the first 3D TEE designed with small children in mind1, you will have access to real-time multiplane and 3D imaging to help improve diagnostic and options confidence in patients as small as 5 kg.
