What is it indicated for?
CAAS A-Valve has been developed to support the interventionalist during or in preparation of treatment of the aortic root. Based on a set of angiographic X-ray images an analysis is performed:
- To assist in C-arm projection selection to optimize visualization during treatment;
- To calculate dimensions of the aortic root corrected for out-of-plane magnification and foreshortening errors.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
