Terumo Interventional Systems Announces First Procedure Using Its OPUSWAVE® Dual Sensor Imaging System in the United States

Published

on

By

Marks a major milestone in expanding access to this next-generation intravascular imaging technology, helping physicians make more informed decisions across a wide range of coronary interventionsAddresses the need to balance the deep vessel visualization of IVUS with the high-resolution surface detail of OFDI

SOMERSET, N.J., June 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Terumo Interventional Systems (TIS), a division of Terumo Corporation, recently completed the first procedure using its OPUSWAVE® Dual Sensor Imaging System. The procedure, performed on June 15 by Annapoorna S. Kini, MD, MRCP, FACC, at Mount Sinai Fuster Heart Hospital in New York, represents a significant milestone in advancing intravascular imaging in the United States.

The OPUSWAVE Imaging System features the DualView® Imaging Catheter, combining Optical Frequency Domain Imaging (OFDI) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) in a single platform to provide simultaneous, complementary views of the coronary anatomy. This first U.S. case represents an important step in bringing next-generation intravascular imaging capability to physicians nationwide, supporting more informed treatment strategies across a broad range of coronary interventions. It also addresses a long-standing clinical challenge: the need to balance the deep vessel visualization of IVUS with the high-resolution surface detail of OFDI. By integrating both modalities into a single catheter, physicians can assess lesion morphology, plaque composition and stent deployment with a more comprehensive perspective – without compromise.

“Having both IVUS and OFDI available simultaneously changes how we approach complex cases,” said Dr. Kini. “Instead of choosing between depth or resolution, we can see both at once – giving us a more complete understanding of the vessel and greater confidence in our decisions.”

“The OPUSWAVE Imaging System enables physicians to see the full picture,” said Gray Fleming, Senior Vice President, Sales & Marketing, TIS-US. “From vessel structure to surface detail, physicians can act with greater certainty. That’s the promise of dual view – brought together into a single, clear answer.”

This “see more, know more” capability directly reflects what physicians identified as most valuable in recent market research: clearer understanding, better procedural decisions and increased diagnostic confidence when imaging complex coronary disease.

“In the past, Interventional cardiologists have had to choose between two different imaging approaches,” said Michael J. Martinelli, MD, FACC, FSCAI, Chief Medical Officer, Terumo Medical Corporation. “The OPUSWAVE Imaging System eliminates that tradeoff by providing both IVUS and OFDI imaging in a single catheter, providing the physician the opportunity to leverage the strengths of each modality simultaneously. This provides the physician with increased clarity and insight for more informed decision–making in real-time, leading to greater confidence when treating the individual patient.”

The DualView Imaging Catheter is engineered for performance and deliverability, featuring a 2.6 Fr profile, 6 Fr guide compatibility, and advanced hydrophilic coating. It also offers a 150 mm pullback for both IVUS and OFDI, delivering the longest single-run pullback length. With flexible imaging modes – including IVUS-only, OFDI-only, or simultaneous dual imaging – the system allows physicians to tailor imaging to each case while maintaining workflow efficiency.

Terumo Interventional Systems (TIS), a division of Terumo Corporation, is a market leader in minimally invasive entry site management, lesion access, and therapeutic intervention.

FIREWORKS BY GRUCCI, AMERICA’S FIRST FAMILY OF FIREWORKS, LIGHTS UP AMERICA’S 250TH WITH HISTORIC CELEBRATIONS COAST TO COAST

Centerpiece Show in Las Vegas Largest in the United States, with Performances Across 15 Simultaneous Locations on July 4

BELLPORT, N.Y., June 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As America marks its 250th anniversary, Fireworks by Grucci and the Grucci family bring a uniquely resonant perspective to this milestone. While the family’s pyrotechnic roots date back to 1850 in Bari, Italy, Phil Grucci’s second great-grandfather established the American branch of this family tree in 1905 in Long Island, NY. Since then, the Grucci’s have been crafting celebrations and woven into the fabric of the America story for nearly a century. As America’s First Family of Fireworks, there is no more fitting name to light up the sky for America’s 250th birthday.

From hometown celebrations to landmark public performances, Fireworks by Grucci is honoring America’s Semiquincentennial with world-class displays that reflect the company’s unmatched record of innovation and excellence from pioneering the stringless shell to introducing microchip-timed aerials. Among its 14 Guinness World Records are the largest fireworks display, the largest aerial fireworks shell, the most UAVs launching fireworks simultaneously, and the longest chain of fireworks. That commitment to creating lifelong memories has also earned the company a Gold Medal at the Monte Carlo Fireworks Competition and the trust of the nation’s most iconic stages, from Presidential Inaugurations to the Olympic Games.

The Largest Fourth of July Show in the Country: Las Vegas
Fireworks by Grucci’s Las Vegas engagement stands as the centerpiece of its 2026 season and will be the largest multi-location choreographed Independence Day performance in the United States. Produced in partnership with Las Vegas Events and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, the residency spans every Saturday from June 6 through July 25, with an eight-minute artistically choreographed performance each night beginning around 9 p.m. Starting with the World Class multi-media performance on July 1 to celebrate Station Casino‘s 50th anniversary with the first of seven properties.

On July 4, Grucci will deliver its grandest performance of the season across the largest theatre in the country: nine iconic rooftops spanning The Strip and six additional Station Casinos rooftops throughout the Las Vegas Valley, making it the largest multi-location choreographed performance with 15 simultaneous launch sites igniting the sky above the Entertainment Capital of the World.

“To bring our family’s 176-year legacy to the world’s greatest stage for America’s 250th birthday is a profound artistic privilege,” said Phil Grucci, CEO and Creative Director of Fireworks by Grucci. “On July 4th, we aren’t just lighting the sky; we are transforming the entire Las Vegas Strip and Valley into a singular, synchronized canvas of celestial choreography. We are ecstatic to deliver a production that honors our nation’s history and gives audiences from coast to coast a memory of a lifetime.”

To further celebrate America’s Semiquincentennial, Fireworks by Grucci is anchoring major community traditions and cultural institutions across the nation this summer, including:

Tri-State Tradition: From the historic shorelines of NY Harbor in a collaboration between City of Jersey City, to Montauk, Yonkers, Springfield, MA, Atlantic City’s major resort properties (Tropicana and Borgata), the legendary 21st anniversary of TD Bank’s ‘Celebrate America’ in Nassau County (July 2), to a 75+ year tradition at an intimate setting at a yacht club in the Hamptons, Grucci remains the definitive voice of summer celebration across the Northeast.Great American West: Anchoring the largest 250th celebration in the nation starts with an unprecedented summer-long rotating residency across 19 distinct Nevada casino-hotel properties with Las Vegas Events, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, and Station Casinos. And continues by highlighting the massive Stadium of Fire at “America’s Freedom Festival” in Provo, Utah (July 4) featuring “The Largest Stadium Fireworks Show in America”, set to patriotic music and narration, and enhanced with Grucci Pyro drones and flames, created in collaboration with Stadium of Fire’s producers Baruch/Gayton Productions. Grucci is executing the most elaborate aerial choreography in the country.Historic & Cultural Institutions: Throughout the summer celebrating America’s 250th, Grucci’s artistry will orchestrate multi-sensory experiences at landmark locations, including the ancestral home of the DuPont family at the Hagley Museum & Library in Delaware (June 12 & 19) and synchronized to live classical arrangements with the Chorus of Westerly in Rhode Island (June 20).
