every step ofthe way
ACIST brings a new level of diagnostic
capability to the interventional cardiology
field by redefining intravascularultrasound with high definition imaging
that does a better job visualizing
coronary complications that can increase
MACE rates. By utilizing See it, Treat it
and Prevent it techniques, physicians
can identify edge dissection, lipid plaque,and thrombus to decrease their coronary
complications.

See it.
HDi® brings new imaging modes, LumenView™
and SilkView™, designed to detect complex
complications helping physicians treat patients.
Thrombus and edge dissections may lead toworse outcomes.1• LumenView™ darkens the coronary
lumen for better border detection.
LumenView™

SilkView™

ClassicView™

• SilkView™ increases gray scale
for finer blood speckle, tissue andplaque differentiation.
• ClassicView™ optimizes thebalance of high resolution anddepth of penetration and enables
full vessel wall visualization.

Treat it.
HDi enables enhanced imaging by providing
sufficient penetration at 60 MHz to see themedia layer, even in larger plaque volumes, sothe physicians can maximize the stenting crosssectional area and may lead to better patient
outcomes.4

Prevent it.
HDi® has been designed to detect lipid pools andlarge plaque burdens. The data has shown that
placing the stent edges in these types of plaques
can result in an increase in complications.5
