Dr. Nabil Dib Discusses a Novel Platform for Structural Heart Interventions

The Dib UltraNav Transseptal Catheter System, which houses a needle and ultrasound in a single tool for use in atrial transseptal procedures and delivery of catheters, is a game-changer in structural heart interventions.

UltraNav enhances the safety and accuracy of transseptal procedures by enabling better visualization of the catheter, needle, and needle tip. It also facilitates safer and more predictable transport of intracardiac echocardiography and other catheters and wires from the right into the left atrium of the heart, reducing the need for transesophageal echo interventions.

DocWire News spoke with Dr. Nabil Dib, founder of Dib UltraNav Medical and inventor of the UltraNav Transseptal Catheter System, about this tool and how it will impact the world of structural heart interventions. Dr. Dib presented the system, which has now been used successfully in 16 human cases, at TCT 2023.
