The Philips Allura Xper FD-20/20 is a sophisticated operating suite with real-time 3D image guidance. This allows the interventional neurologist to see exactly where the catheter-based clot retrieval device needs to go. Three-dimensional viewing also helps the physician ensure no areas of blood clots are overlooked.
In addition, on-board CT capability eliminates the need to transfer the patient to another room for scanning during the procedure.
Our neurointerventional bi-plane angiography suite is part of NeuroLink's comprehensive stroke care program. As a result of this advanced technology, stroke patients can be treated up to 12 hours after the onset of symptoms (compared to three to four-and-a-half hours with intravenous tPA, the standard clot-busting medication).
The Medical Center of Plano is the first and only hospital in Collin County (and one of just a few in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex) to offer this life-saving technology.
