Dual-axis rotational coronary angiography
Enhance insight into coronary anatomy with CardiacSwing (formerly XperSwing) dual-axis rotational angiography. It produces unique visualizations of the coronary tree with a single contrast injection. These views are designed to reduce vessel foreshortening.

Features
Insightful dual-axis rotation
Conventional coronary angiography and single-axis rotational angiography (RA) have limitations when diagnosing coronary artery disease due to
vessel overlap and foreshortening. Unlike these techniques which acquire multiple acquisitions, CardiacSwing can perform LAO/RAO and cranial/caudal movements in a
single acquisition to enhance visibility and patient care.
New views of complex vessels
Unexpected angles are visualized thanks to the LAO/RAO and cranial/caudal trajectory of CardiacSwing. These views of the coronary tree provide
additional support for lesion assessment and can expose views of vasculature that might be hidden in conventional coronary angiography or single-axis RA. CardiacSwing
may help reduce misinterpretation caused by vessel eccentricity, overlap, and foreshortening.
One run saves valuable time
CardiacSwing has the potential to reduce procedure time significantly by replacing the multiple acquisitions required by standard angiography
or single-axis rotational angiography with a single run.[1-2] In addition, it can enhance the consistency of imaging results by eliminating the gap between adjacent projections and potential deviation from the optimal angle of observation.[3]
