The first structural heart procedure in the world using EchoPixel's 4D holographic therapy guidance (HTG) software was completed at a facility in Minnesota.
The one-time, minimally invasive procedure for atrial fibrillation patients, the WATCHMAN implant, was performed at CentraCare Heart & Vascular Center in St. Cloud. The center is the first to use EchoPixel's platform before and after the structural procedure.
