Abstract
In a first aspect, the present invention relates to a method for patient-specific virtual percutaneous implantation, comprising estimating a patient-specific anatomical model of a patient-specific aorta based on cardiovascular 2D or 3D medical image data and virtually deploying an implant model representing an implant into said patient-specific anatomical model. In a second aspect, the present invention provides a method for patient-specific virtual percutaneous implantation. In a third aspect, the present invention provides an implant for virtual percutaneous implantation. In a fourth aspect, the present invention provides a system for virtual percutaneous implantation.
Claims30
A computer-implemented method for evaluating the placement of a prosthetic device in a patient's body, comprising:
- obtaining a plurality of digital images of a patient's cardiac anatomy;
- obtaining a digital model of a prosthetic cardiac device;
- generating, from the plurality of digital images, a patient-specific digital depiction of the patient's cardiac anatomy including a cardiac anatomical structure in fluid communication with an adjacent anatomical structure, using a computer system;
- virtually placing the digital model of the prosthetic cardiac device within the cardiac anatomical structure of the patient-specific digital depiction;
- calculating, using the computer system, a measure of blood flow obstruction to the adjacent anatomical structure of the patient-specific digital depiction resulting from the placement of the digital model of the prosthetic cardiac device;
- and
- generating, using the computer system, information to indicate the measure of blood flow obstruction to the adjacent anatomical structure of the patient-specific digital depiction resulting from the placement of the digital model of the prosthetic cardiac device.
A system for evaluating the placement of a prosthetic device in a patient's body, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a storage device having instructions stored therein, wherein the processor is configured to access the storage device and execute the instructions stored therein, wherein the instructions are configured to:
- accept a plurality of digital images of a patient's cardiac anatomy;
- retrieve from the storage device a digital model of a prosthetic cardiac device;
- generate from the plurality of digital images a patient-specific digital depiction of the patient's cardiac anatomy including a cardiac anatomical structure in fluid communication with an adjacent anatomical structure;
- for a virtual placement of the digital model of the prosthetic cardiac device within the cardiac anatomical structure of the patient-specific digital depiction, calculate a measure of blood flow obstruction to the adjacent anatomical structure of the patient-specific digital depiction resulting from the placement of the digital model of the prosthetic cardiac device;
- and
- generate information to indicate the measure of blood flow obstruction to the adjacent anatomical structure of the patient-specific digital depiction resulting from the placement of the digital model of the prosthetic cardiac device.
A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium storing instructions thereon that when executed by one or more processors carries out a method of:
- accepting a plurality of digital images of a patient's cardiac anatomy;
- accessing a digital model of a prosthetic cardiac device;
- generating a patient-specific digital depiction of the patient's cardiac anatomy including a cardiac anatomical structure in fluid communication with an adjacent anatomical structure;
- for a virtual placement of the digital model of the prosthetic cardiac device within the cardiac anatomical structure of the patient-specific digital depiction, calculating a measure of blood flow obstruction to the adjacent anatomical structure of the patient-specific digital depiction resulting from the placement of the digital model of the prosthetic cardiac device;
- and
- generating information to indicate the measure of blood flow obstruction.
