This transaction strengthens an existing strategic partnership between the two companies, under which CathWorks&#8217; technology was jointly promoted in the United States, Europe, and Japan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">CathWorks developed the FFRangio system, a solution based on artificial intelligence and advanced computational modeling that enables the complete physiological assessment of coronary arteries using routine X-ray angiography. The technology eliminates the need for the invasive procedures associated with traditional FFR (Fractional Flow Reserve) testing, providing physicians with a more efficient, less invasive tool for diagnosis and therapeutic decision-making.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">According to Jason Weidman, President of the Coronary &amp; Renal Denervation division within Medtronic\u2019s cardiovascular portfolio, the integration of CathWorks marks a significant step in transforming the traditional, invasive-wire-based FFR segment by leveraging the power of data and artificial intelligence to support physicians throughout the entire patient journey, from diagnosis to treatment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Source: Calcalis Tech<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The American giant Medtronic has announced the acquisition of the Israeli medical technology company CathWorks for $585 million, a figure <span>&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":10028,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[108],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10023","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cciri.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10023","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cciri.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cciri.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cciri.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cciri.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10023"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.cciri.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10023\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10027,"href":"https:\/\/www.cciri.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10023\/revisions\/10027"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cciri.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10028"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cciri.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10023"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cciri.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10023"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cciri.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10023"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
