Philips Expands 3D Heart Imaging with VeriSight Pro in Europe

On May 19, Koninklijke Philips N.V. (NYSE:PHG) introduced VeriSight Pro 3D Intracardiac Echocardiography (ICE) catheter in Europe, enhancing real-time heart imaging without general anesthesia. Building on its success in the U.S., VeriSight Pro offers high-resolution 2D and 3D visualization, aiding transcatheter valve repair and left atrial appendage closure procedures.

“With VeriSight Pro 3D ICE, we now have the ability to see detailed cardiac anatomy from inside the heart in real time,” said Prof. Dr. Jörg Hausleiter of LMU Munich, emphasizing its role in streamlining workflows and making complex procedures more accessible.

Traditional imaging methods, like transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), require general anesthesia, extended room time, and additional staff. VeriSight Pro’s miniaturized ultrasound probe—just 3 millimeters in diameter—delivers real-time imaging inside heart chambers via a thin, steerable catheter, reducing recovery times and hospital stays.

“VeriSight Pro reflects our ongoing commitment to delivering clinically relevant innovations that enhance precision, reduce procedure complexity, and improve the care experience,” said Stacy Beske, Philips’ Business Leader of Image-Guided Therapy Devices.

The catheter integrates with Philips’ EPIQ ultrasound systems and Azurion image-guided therapy platform, supporting procedures like mitral valve repair and atrial septal defect closure. Philips will showcase VeriSight Pro at EuroPCR 2025 in Paris (May 20–23) through physician-led symposiums, hands-on training, and immersive VR experiences.
