Systems and methods for identifying personalized vascular implants from patient-specific anatomic data

A system identifying a personalized cardiovascular device based on patient-specific geometrical information, the system comprising:

• at least one memory including instructions;
• and
• at least one processor operatively connected to the at least one memory and configured to execute the instructions to perform operations, including:
• acquiring a geometric model of at least a portion of a patient's vascular system;
• determining a pathology characteristic at a location in the geometric model of the patient's vascular system by using the geometric model to perform a simulation of one or more of blood flow or structural mechanics of the patient's vascular system;
• determining one or more device variables based on the determined pathology characteristic, wherein the one or more device variables are chosen from materials, percentage metal coverage, surface finish, and drug content or dose;
• and
• recommending a device or delivery system based on the determined one or more device variables.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions executable by at least one processor to perform operations for identifying a personalized cardiovascular device based on patient-specific geometrical information, the operations including:

• acquiring a geometric model of at least a portion of a patient's vascular system;
• determining a pathology characteristic at a location in the geometric model of the patient's vascular system;
• determining one or more device variables based on the determined pathology characteristic;
• and
• recommending a device or delivery system based on the determined one or more device variables, wherein the recommending includes:
• generating an optimal design for the device or delivery system based on the determined one or more device variables;
• and
• either:
• causing a three-dimensional printing device to manufacture the personalized cardiovascular device based on the generated optimal design;
• or
• selecting a device or delivery system from an inventory list having one or more devices or delivery systems, the selecting based on a matching of characteristics of the optimal design.
