Cydar Medical Teams Up With MarinHealth To Elevate Endovascular Aortic Care Using AI

Cydar Medical, a leader in AI-based software solutions for minimally invasive image-guided endovascular surgery, has announced a strategic alliance with MarinHealth, a well-regarded healthcare enterprise in Northern California. This collaboration aims to implement Cydar Maps, an advanced AI-based solution that enables clinicians to create detailed patient-specific 3D maps for procedure planning, image-guided navigation, and post-operative review.

Cydar Maps significantly improves visualization during treatment and aids surgeons in decision-making throughout the care pathway. Independent studies have shown that Cydar Maps reduces procedure time and minimizes radiation exposure for both patients and clinical teams. Enhanced imaging during surgery also decreases the volume of contrast agents required, making it a safer and more efficient option.

"We are excited to bring Cydar Maps to MarinHealth. This AI-based solution will enable us to improve patient care," said Dr. Allan Conway, Clinical Associate Professor of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery at UCSF and MarinHealth. "The advances in real-time intraoperative image guidance will allow us to treat aortic aneurysms more effectively and in a safer environment."

David Klein, MD, CEO of MarinHealth, commented on the collaboration: "We look forward to realizing the benefits of Cydar Maps, empowering our physicians to make more informed decisions that can positively impact patient outcomes. This collaboration is part of MarinHealth’s ongoing commitment to staying at the forefront of innovation and technology while providing our community access to the best treatment options available."

Paul Mussenden, CEO at Cydar Medical, added: "The partnership with MarinHealth is a stride forward for Cydar Medical. It reflects our dedication to enhancing surgical precision and efficiency through AI-driven solutions. We are proud to collaborate with MarinHealth and support their commitment to providing exceptional patient care."

Study Findings

The effectiveness of Cydar Maps is backed by independent research. A study by Southerland et al. (2018) found that Image-Based Three-Dimensional Fusion Computed Tomography decreases radiation exposure, fluoroscopy time, and procedure time during endovascular aortic aneurysm repair.
