Fujifilm Healthcare Americas has launched its OPIE Transducer, an on-pump intracardiac echocardiography transducer for aiding septal myectomy procedures. OPIE is a possible alternative to using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) to view septal thickness before septal myectomy. With OPIE, a thin transducer is passed into the heart; images of the patient’s septal thickness can be seen in real-time, according to Fujifilm.
