Siemens unveils CT-guided PCI workflow system

Siemens Healthineers has introduced an integrated workflow system for CT-guided percutaneous coronary intervention at EuroPCR 2026. The company said the system transfers preprocessed coronary CT angiography data directly to the cath lab.

EuroPCR 2026 is being used to present the combination of Syngo.CT Coronary Cockpit on the Syngo.via platform and Syngo PCI Connect on new Artis angiography systems. Siemens said the workflow covers diagnosis, plaque analysis, planning, and procedural guidance.

Syngo.CT Coronary Cockpit provides coronary anatomy, plaque, lesion, and lumen information from CT data. In the cath lab, the information can be displayed with side-by-side views and markers for planned stents, according to Siemens.

Based on the company’s product page, Syngo PCI Connect uses CT data from Syngo.CT Coronary Cockpit to support PCI planning and guidance in the cath lab. Siemens said the software can help define lesion preparation, landing zone, stent length, and stent size before intervention.

C-arm and CT image synchronization is included in the workflow. Siemens said that when the C-arm moves, the CT image follows, and that angulation selected on the CT image can also be sent back to the C-arm.

Earlier Siemens materials described Syngo.CT Coronary Cockpit as an AI-driven coronary CT software tool for plaque analysis and PCI planning. The software characterizes plaque amount and morphology through AI-based segmentation, labeling, and visualization.

Regulatory availability remains limited. Siemens said Syngo PCI Connect is not yet commercially available in the U.S. and other countries, while Syngo.CT Coronary Cockpit is 510(k) pending and not available for sale in the U.S.
