Abstract

Fiber Optic RealShape technology is a new endovascular guidance system that aims to simplify endovascular procedures by improving wire, catheter, and device visualization, while reducing reliance on ionizing radiation. Developed by Philips, the system uses light refracted through optical fibers to generate real-time renderings of wires and catheters in three-dimensional space. Currently, devices with embedded Fiber Optic RealShape technology are being studied in human patients undergoing endovascular procedures. Early findings demonstrate the technology to be safe and effective in offsetting procedural complexity. Research and development to improve rendering accuracy and expand the selection of available Fiber Optic RealShape–enabled endovascular devices continues.
