Summary

New research published in JSCAI and presented at TCT 2026 reports low operator radiation exposure during endovascular procedures using the Rampart Guardian radiation shielding system. The findings support efforts to protect physicians and other operators from occupational radiation exposure without relying on heavy lead aprons. The study, " Observed Lead-Free Radiation Exposure with the Rampart Guardian System during Endovascular Procedures ," evaluated radiation exposure among physicians performing fluoroscopy-guided procedures at U.S. and international institutions after installing the ceiling-mounted shielding system.
