A-View® Endotracheal Balloon Catheter
The A-View® balloon provides complete visualization of the distal ascending aorta during TEE, thus eliminating the 'blind spot'. This is accomplished by filling the air-void within the trachea with a saline-filled balloon, allowing for a complete diagnosis of dangerous plaques at risk for potential dislodgement prior to CPB cannulation and aortic cross clamping. The A-View® balloon has been proven to reduce the risk of periprocedural stroke by 30%*.
