This document summarizes 7 innovative technologies that will be on display at ACC.15: 1) Medtronic's CoreValve transcatheter aortic valve replacement system provides a minimally invasive alternative to open heart surgery for replacing diseased heart valves. 2) St. Jude Medical's CardioMEMS heart failure monitoring system allows clinicians to monitor pulmonary pressures and manage treatment in patients with heart failure. 3) Toshiba's dose-tracking system measures radiation skin dose during interventional procedures to help clinicians monitor patient radiation exposure. 4) Merge Cardio provides a centralized web-based system for physicians to manage multiple aspects of patients' integrated cardiovascular records.

2. CoreValve
Transcatheter Aortic
Valve Replacement
Platform
Approved by the FDA just over a
year ago, Medtronic Inc.'s
minimally invasive system for
replacing diseased heart valves
is threaded into place through
an artery using a catheter,
sparing inoperable and high-risk
patients chest-opening surgery
and cutting down on recovery
time.

3. CardioMEMS
Heart Failure
Monitor
A miniaturized implantable
system, the CardioMEMS heart
failure system from St. Jude
Medical allows clinicians to
monitor pulmonary artery
pressures and manage
medications and treatment
options while also providing an
early indication of worsening HF.

4. Dose-tracking
System
Toshiba America Medical
System’s Dose-tracking System
lets clinicians measure peak
radiation skin dose during
interventional procedures.

5. Merge Cardio
The winner of the 2014 “Best in
KLAS” under cardiology, Merge
Cardio lets physicians manage
multiple aspects of patients’
digital integrated cardiovascular
records from a centralized, web-
based system.

6. MitraClip
Abbott’s MitraClip is a minimally
invasive, catheter-based device
that is a potentially suitable
treatment for patients with
significant symptomatic mitral
regurgitation who may be too
sick or frail to undergo open
heart surgery. It’s delivered
transfemorally to the heart and
then implanted.

7. Revolution CT
GE Healthcare’s Revolution CT is
an ultra-fast CT scanner that
allows clinicians to image the
heart in one heartbeat, freezing
the heart’s motion and
delivering high-image quality.

8. PURE Platform
Recently approved by the FDA,
the PURE is designed to
simplify use of advanced
features in Siemens’ Artis
zee®, Artis Q, and Artis Q.zen
angiography systems.
