Introducing the Nuvision Ice Catheter for Enhanced Cardiac Procedures at Cheyenne Regional Medical Center

August 13, 2024 – Cheyenne Regional Medical Center (CRMC) and Cheyenne Regional Medical Group (CRMG) are thrilled to announce that Dr. Lawand, an electrophysiologist at CRMC and CRMG’s Heart and Vascular Institute, has utilized the cutting-edge Nuvision ice catheter for Watchman procedures for the first time this week. This marks a significant milestone as CRMC becomes the pioneering hospital on the front range to introduce this revolutionary technology.

Dr. Lawand shared, “The NuVision intracardiac echo catheter is a new technology to guide structural heart procedures. It will be used at Cheyenne Regional to implant the Watchman device. It provides live 3D views of the heart. It reduces the need for general anesthesia and may also replace the need for transesophageal echocardiography. Cheyenne Regional is the first hospital on the front range to use this technology.”

The Nuvision ice catheter, developed by Biosense Webster under J&J MedTech, sets a new standard in cardiac care by offering unparalleled advantages. This state-of-the-art catheter provides superior imaging quality and precise navigation capabilities during Watchman procedures. Its advanced ultrasound features enable exceptional clarity in the real-time visualization of cardiac structures, enhancing procedural accuracy and reducing the risk of complications.

CRMC is leading the way in embracing state-of-the-art medical advancements to improve patient outcomes and healthcare excellence.
