ACIST Medical Systems

We’re looking forward to attending the German CTO & CHIP Meeting in Hamburg this week.

Join us at the Bracco ACIST booth to discover the new ACIST Pro™ contrast management system and ACIST HDi® IVUS, designed to support precision in complex coronary interventions.

If you’re attending, stop by our booth to see the systems in action.

At , Dr. Ryan Madder presented on behalf of ACIST® in the session CRT Imaging: Knowledge to Practice. During the session, Dr. Madder shared insights on the role of intravascular imaging in PCI and discussed how ACIST HDi® IVUS delivers high‑definition (60 MHz) imaging. Thank you to everyone who attended the session and engaged in the imaging discussion at CRT.

What a great week at ! ACIST® Medical Systems was proud to exhibit and connect with interventional cardiology professionals from around the world. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth — we loved the conversations and the opportunity to share how ACIST solutions help support complex procedures in the cath lab every day.

ACIST HDi® IVUS Workshop at Elisabeth Hospital Kassel: Sharing Knowledge and Best Practices in Imaging in Complex PCI

We'd like to thank Dr. Murat Yildiz and his team for hosting an inspiring HDi IVUS session. Six German physicians joined this small-group workshop, allowing focused discussions and hands-on experience with complex PCI cases.

We're grateful for the opportunity to collaborate, share insights, and demonstrate the value of high-definition imaging, and we look forward to continuing this journey together and fostering innovation in imaging-guided PCI.

Special thanks to Olivera Kotevska, Gabriella Wedler, Daniel Bender and Bjorn Paulus.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth at Scottsdale Interventional Forum 2026!

It was a great few days of meaningful conversations, clinical insights, and collaboration with leaders across interventional cardiology. We’re proud to support education and innovation that advance heart and vascular care.

The ACIST Product Sales Training in Heerlen wrapped up today after an energizing week-long program, bringing together colleagues and partners from Germany, Greece, France, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Israel, Kuwait, and the UAE.

The training proved to be an inspiring and highly collaborative experience, shaped by open exchange, shared perspectives, and learning from each other’s real-world experience. Hands-on interaction with the ACIST CV portfolio helped bring these insights to life and connect learning with practice.

A big thank you to Olivera Kotevska, Elena Andrade, Tim Berendsen, Jochen Walter, and Dirk Fleschenberg for guiding the sessions and fostering such a strong learning environment.

Our colleagues at Bracco Germany had an excellent time this weekend at the symposium “Das Herz im Zentrum”, organized by Herzzentrum Trier. A big thank you to Prof. Dr. Werner and his team for the outstanding organization and a truly well-run event.

The symposium offered a broad, practice-oriented overview of contemporary cardiology, covering cardiovascular prevention, heart failure, rhythm disorders, and interventional as well as imaging-based approaches. Clinical decision making was highlighted through sessions on coronary diagnostics, structural heart disease, and modern heart failure therapies.

One of the highlights was the live cases: several complex interventional cases from daily cath lab practice were performed and discussed in detail providing valuable insights into contemporary cath lab workflows. Many of the cases were supported by ACIST's new contrast management system, 𝗔𝗖𝗜𝗦𝗧 𝗣𝗿𝗼™

With around 200 physicians and approximately 100 nurses in attendance, the workshop created an excellent environment for professional exchange, and we look forward to continuing the conversations that started in Trier.

Thanks as well to Björn Paulus, Daniel Bender and Jochen Walter for the great teamwork behind the scenes!

Last week, our ACIST team participated in National Wear Red Day to raise awareness for cardiovascular disease. The American Heart Association is highlighting women’s heart health this year, as cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death for women in the United States. Nearly half of women over 20 are living with some form of cardiovascular disease, yet many are unaware of the risk.

By joining the Go Red for Women movement, we are helping emphasize the importance of prevention, early action, and supporting heart health. Proud to stand together in raising awareness and advocating for a healthier future!

ACIST is proud to have participated at CHIP CTO India, with our distributor partner Translumina hosting a busy booth and engaging Training Village demos. Across Live-in-Box cases, plenary sessions, and workshops, world-renowned experts Dr. Ziad Ali, Dr. Praveen Chandra, Dr. Ashok Seth, and Dr. Pankaj Manoria shared their clinical insights, while the ACIST CVi® contrast management system and ACIST HDi® HD IVUS system were prominently featured, sparking strong interest from the interventional cardiology community. Elena Andrade Rosa from ACIST Europe was on site to support our partner and connect with customers and faculty.

Together with our valued partner Translumina, we look forward to many more educational events and successes in India.

Following the launch of the ACIST Pro™ Diagnostic System, our new contrast management system that is now available in select markets in Europe, we had the opportunity to present it for the first time at conferences across three key European markets: Germany, France, and the UK.

The events were successful, with great engagement and conversations between our colleagues and attendees. There was strong interest in ACIST Pro and its features, including personalized injection presets, real-time contrast tracking with customizable dose targets, intuitive on-screen guidance, and a compact design supporting efficient cath lab workflows.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to these valuable exchanges. We look forward to the next conferences, ready to show the interventional cardiology community a contrast management system that is designed for the future, as part of our ongoing commitment to cathlab excellence.

ACIST Pro is available in Japan and select markets in Europe. Not yet cleared or available for sale in the US.

Last week, ACIST had a pleasure to collaborate in the New Wave Academy DACH in Munich.

Over two days, 39 fellows and early-career interventional cardiologists combined hands-on IVUS training on the ACIST HDi® HD system with expert discussions and case-based learning, highlighting the value of proactive PCI in everyday clinical practice.

A special thank you goes to Shockwave Medical and Optima Education for a fantastic collaboration, and to our colleagues from ACIST and Bracco —Olivera Kotevska, Björn Paulus, Daniel Bender, and Bernhard Koch —for their excellent coordination in bringing this event to life. We look forward to more joint educational initiatives ahead.
