Coordination and execution of imaging guidance is often crucial for successful outcomes. Catalyst LIVE allows surgeons to consult with top-tier specialists  real time, regardless of their physical location, bridging gaps in expertise and enhancing decision-making precision. By overcoming the logistical hurdles of coordinating schedules and aligning expert availability, virtual presence not only elevates the quality of care but also optimizes resource utilization, paving the way for more efficient and effective cardiac surgical interventions.

• Expert TEE Image Interpretation: Remote cardiologists can provide real-time analysis of TEE images, guiding the anesthesia team through complex procedures with expert precision.
• Enhanced Collaboration: Surgeons can consult with remote specialists on-the-spot, ensuring that every decision is informed by the latest knowledge and experience.
• Improved Patient Outcomes: By combining the expertise of both onsite and remote teams, telepresence helps ensure that every patient receives the most advanced and effective care possible.
• Access to Specialized Expertise: Even in community hospitals or smaller facilities, telepresence brings world-class cardiothoracic expertise directly into the OR, elevating the level of care available.

Expert guidance is critical for both organ harvesting and the complex transplantation process. However, the geographical barriers that often separate transplant teams from specialists can impede the timely exchange of crucial information and expertise. With Catalyst LIVE, surgical teams can share camera and device feeds in real-time with leading experts regardless of their location, ensuring that every step of the transplantation process is guided with precision and confidence. This bridges the distance between diverse geographic locations, facilitating immediate, high-quality collaboration that enhances the success rates of these life-saving procedures and ultimately improves patient outcomes.

• 24/7 Expert Availability: Virtual presence ensures that specialized guidance is available around the clock, regardless of time zones or physical distance, which is crucial for the unpredictable nature of organ transplantation.
• Improved Surgical Precision: Remote experts can provide immediate, detailed feedback and advice on intricate surgical techniques, enhancing the precision and effectiveness of both organ harvesting and transplantation.
• Streamlined Training and Support: Facilitate real-time training and support for less experienced transplant teams, allowing them to learn from experts during live procedures and improve their skills.
• Optimized Resource Utilization: Maximize access to high-level expertise without the need for physical relocation, making better use of available resources and minimizing logistical challenges.

With Catalyst LIVE, educational institutions can elevate their training programs, allowing participants to observe, learn, and interact with experts regardless of geographical constraints. By live streaming cases for educational purposes this cutting-edge approach provides trainees and fellows with unprecedented access to real-time demonstrations of complex procedures, directly from the operating room.  This enhanced access to high-level expertise not only accelerates the learning curve but also ensures that emerging surgeons receive the most current and comprehensive instruction, ultimately driving advancements in surgical practice and patient care.

• Global Access to Expertise: Allow trainees worldwide to watch and learn from live surgeries and top experts, regardless of their location. For example, a remote fellow can view complex procedures performed by leading specialists in major cities.
• Interactive Learning: Trainees can engage with live-streamed surgeries by asking real-time questions and receiving feedback from experts, enhancing their understanding of surgical techniques and decision-making.
• Collaborative Discussions: Live streaming enables global discussions among surgical teams, fostering the exchange of techniques and solutions. For instance, a laparoscopic procedure can be analyzed in real time by surgeons across the country or globe.
