Abstract

Fiber Optic RealShape technology is a new endovascular guidance system that aims to sim-plify endovascular procedures by improving wire, catheter, and device visualization, while reducing reliance on ionizing radiation. Developed by Philips, the system uses light re-fracted through optical fibers to generate real-time renderings of wires and catheters in three-dimensional space. Currently, devices with embedded Fiber Optic RealShape technol-ogy are being studied in human patients undergoing endovascular procedures. Early find-ings demonstrate the technology to be safe and effective in offsetting procedural complex-ity. Research and development to improve rendering accuracy and expand the selection of available Fiber Optic RealShape-enabled endovascular devices continues. (c) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
