Marcus Neuroscience Institute’s new advanced neuro-interventional suite features state-of-the-art technology to provide minimally invasive treatments, where patients will benefit from speedier, more precise care when facing vascular and neurological conditions such as stroke and brain aneurysms.
The new suite is part of an ongoing expansion of Marcus Neuroscience Institute, located at Boca Raton Regional Hospital, part of Baptist Health South Florida. The hospital is the first in the nation to feature both the highly sophisticated Siemens ARTIS Icono Biplane imaging equipment and Corindus CorPath GRX Robotic surgical system in one place.
The Siemens ARTIS Icono Biplane is a complex and sophisticated imaging system that offers physician’s views of the brain on two different planes, which can be adjusted as needed. The system has a very wide range of potential positions and can switch effortlessly between 2D and 3D imaging. It offers faster, more precise cone beam CT images, even in challenging areas like the skull base. In stroke diagnosis, the system’s more advanced imaging saves time, helps physicians visualize collateral vessels and supports sounder treatment decisions before performing life-saving procedures. The system is also a key tool for brain aneurysm treatment and other conditions that require intricate device placement and excellent image quality.
The Corindus CorPath GRX Robotic System, meanwhile, allows physicians to perform incredibly complex vascular procedures, enabling millimeter by millimeter movement through a patient’s arteries in minimally invasive procedures. Seated in a radiation-protected cockpit, physicians use joystick controls to robotically advance catheters, balloons and stents to clear blockages and restore blood flow.
