Philips and Carilion Clinic, a not-for-profit health care organization in Virginia, announced integration of the Philips cardiovascular care ecosystem of solutions into Carilion Clinic, at its Cardiovascular Institute at Crystal Spring Tower. Carilion will have 11 specialized Philips interventional suites, allowing physicians to treat patients with complex cardiovascular conditions closer to home while optimizing the clinical, operational and overall performance of the health system’s cardiovascular service line.

The Carilion Clinic Cardiovascular Institute will relocate to a new facility and provide state-of-the-art heart, lung and vascular services to the region. Services include inpatient nursing care, cardiovascular ORs, cardiac catheterization and electrophysiology labs. The new labs are the foundation of the integrated Philips ecosystem of solutions for cardiovascular care and include the Philips Azurion Image-Guided Therapy System, along with EPIQ CVx cardiology ultrasound system with ultrasound-enabled AI capabilities, IntraSight with SyncVision for IVUS imaging and physiology and interventional tools.

Together, the technology provides advanced imaging with reduced X-ray dose, improved workflow and more efficient turnaround times, offering a high level of clinical confidence. A service program will reduce maintenance complexity, keeping systems up to date with the latest software. Furthermore, Carilion will be able to leverage ongoing clinical education for its staff.
