Mount Sinai Medical Center First to Utilize AI Technology to Treat Complex Aortic Conditions at South Florida’s Only Aortic Center

Published

on

MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Feb. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Mount Sinai Medical Center is proud to announce the implementation of unique AI software designed to support the treatment of patients with complex aortic disease. As part of a collaboration between Cydar Medical and Medtronic, this software employs state-of-the-art minimally invasive endovascular technology that is being used by surgeons at Mount Sinai’s Aortic Center. The medical center currently stands as the first and only institution to use this technology in all of Eastern Florida.

The product integrates Cydar Maps software with Medtronic services and case support to improve patient care and efficiency with AI-based solutions placed in a clinical environment.

Cydar’s platform generates a 3D map of the patient’s vascular system as well as supporting and integrating preoperative planning, intraoperative guidance, and postoperative reviews of endovascular surgery. The platform utilizes AI to update the map throughout the patient’s journey, guaranteeing surgeries are completed with great precision and success. The benefits include significantly decreased radiation exposure, simplified workflows, and increased clinician confidence.

“The thing we are most excited about in the Aortic Center is our incorporation of an AI image-based guidance program that allows us to decrease radiation use on patients and decrease contrast or dye usage, which decreases the risk of problems with kidney function after these procedures, and allows us to perform these procedures in a more expedient manner,” says Dr. Micheal Ayad, the Co-Director of the Aortic Center. “It’s very exciting to be at the forefront of what’s considered the future of aortic surgery.”

UK-based Cydar developed its mapping platform to transform how information is shared with clinicians in image-guided minimally invasive surgery. The company designed it to simplify complexities within operating theaters across the globe.

Mount Sinai’s Aortic Center utilizes a collaborative approach between cardiac surgeons, vascular surgeons, cardiologists, and geneticists by coming together to address complex disease processes that otherwise would be very difficult to manage individually. This multidisciplinary approach allows for custom-made solutions to a variety of unique aortic and endovascular conditions.

“When you have a collaboration of different specialists, you are not getting a one-size-fits-all therapy but rather a custom made approach,” explains Dr. Ayad. “If we’ve learned anything over the past 20 to 30 years, it’s that not all patients’ diseases are the same. Each patient has a specific kind of aneurysm or a specific kind of disease, so a tailored approach provides a better outcome and a more durable outcome.”

“We are thrilled a medical center as renowned and respected as Mount Sinai has implemented our product into their clinical work,” says Paul Mussenden, the CEO at Cydar Medical. “The goal is to provide their surgeons with a more predictable and efficient way to perform minimally invasive, image-guided procedures, leading to optimal results for their patients.”

Das Marketing Shares Concerns Over Corporate Service Experience in Singapore

Published

By

Das Marketing International reports serious issues with a Singapore service provider, urging businesses to exercise due diligence and know their legal rights.

SINGAPORE, May 18, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Das Marketing International Group Pte. Ltd. would like to share important information about its experience with an external corporate secretarial provider in Singapore – Investbanq Corporate Services Pte. Ltd.

During our cooperation, we encountered a number of serious operational and management issues that significantly impacted our business, including:

Refusal to carry out key corporate transactions, which caused significant delays in our business, instead requested for unreasonable compliance inquiry including source of fund of the transactions.

Requesting excessive and confidential information and documentation, without clear justification, including reason for transactions, original agreements, source of capital and tax information.

Refusal to arrange a meeting with a compliance specialist despite verbal requests and demands for direct interaction on regulatory matters.

Demanding unreasonably high budget of USD 20k for legal counsel despite low risk situations.

Refusal to perform actions despite clear instructions given as a client.

Overall a horrible client experience.

Fortunately, the current Singapore legislation allowed us to promptly change the nominee director and corporate secretary, restoring control over the management of the company without the involvement of the previous provider.

We strongly recommend that companies operating in Singapore carefully select corporate service providers, enter into written contracts in a timely manner and be well aware of their rights under the Companies Act and other regulations.

Das Marketing International Group Pte. Ltd. remains committed to the principles of transparency, professionalism and strict compliance with Singapore laws.
