What happened
Dr. Megha Prasad and physicians at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia completed the first clinical cases using Conavi’s next-generation OCTIV™ imaging system. OCTIV combines intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) into a single catheter. This clinical placement marks a milestone in Conavi’s targeted U.S. commercial rollout following FDA 510(k) clearance.

Why it matters
The successful clinical use of the hybrid IVUS-OCT imaging system advances the commercial availability of the technology in the United States. The device provides simultaneous, co-registered views of coronary arteries to support assessment of coronary artery disease and guide percutaneous coronary intervention.
