The CathWorks FFRangio^® System to Be Featured in Multiple Scientific Presentations Including the First Ever Prospective RCT Comparing an Angio-based Physiology Tool Versus FFR in Japan

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Oct. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- CathWorks, a global leader in digital health innovations, announced today the schedule of key events for the company during the upcoming Cardiovascular Research Foundation's annual Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) conference taking place October 27 to 30 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC.

The CathWorks FFRangio^® System will be featured in scientific presentations, an educational symposium, and will be available for hands-on demonstrations and peer-to-peer education during Meet the Expert sessions hosted by leading physicians. For the first time ever, the CathWorks booth will include its own media studio where key opinion leaders will be invited to share their candid thoughts on various hot topics in the physiology and cardiovascular space.

Scientific Presentations

• On Sunday, Professor Hitoshi Matsuo from Gifu Heart Center in Gifu, Japan will present data from the PROVISION¹ study, the first ever Japanese prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing clinical outcomes of an angio-based physiology technology versus wire-based FFR.

Professor Hitoshi Matsuo stated, "This study can play a pivotal role in how patients with coronary artery disease are diagnosed and treated going forward. If this study demonstrates that the clinical evaluation with FFRangio yields the same treatment decisions as those based on traditional invasive FFR and that there is no significant difference in prognoses, FFRangio, the wire-free, easier and less costly assessment tool can be routinely utilized intraprocedurally for patients with intermediate lesions, and effectively replace wire-based FFR."

• On Tuesday, Dr. Kazuhiro Dan from Ichinomiyanishi Hospital in Ichinomiya, Japan will present an update on the Comparison Between Angiogram-Based Physiological Assessment System and Intravascular Ultrasound Imaging Measurements.
  
  
• On Wednesday, Professor Guy Witberg from Rabin Medical Center in Tel Aviv, Israel will share two-year data of over 1,500 patients from the FFRangio global registry during his Real World Outcomes of FFRangio Guided Treatment for Coronary Artery Disease in Acute vs. Chronic Coronary Syndromes presentation.

Educational Symposium

• The Monday lunchtime symposium entitled CathWorks FFRangio: Coronary Physiology Redefined, will be chaired by Dr. Allen Jeremias from St. Francis Hospital, Roslyn, NY. The world-renowned faculty will include Dr. William F. Fearon (Stanford University Medical Center, Stanford, CA), Dr. Ajay J. Kirtane (Columbia University Irving Medical Center, New York, NY) and Professor Hitoshi Matsuo (Gifu Heart Center, Gifu, Japan). The expert physician panel will share the continually evolving artificial intelligence behind the FFRangio System aimed at simplifying the user experience, highlights from the PROVISION study and the pivotal role the FFRangio technology plays in physiology-guided PCI.

"We are extremely pleased to see the FFRangio System featured prominently during TCT, highlighting its rapidly growing adoption and seamless integration in catheterization labs around the globe. We look forward to continuing to partner with the interventional cardiology community to make FFRangio the standard of care," said Ramin Mousavi, President and CEO of CathWorks.
