Abstract
A method of generating a patient-specific prosthesis includes receiving anatomic imaging data representative of a portion of a patient's anatomy. A first digital representation of the anatomic imaging data is defined. The first digital representation of the anatomic imaging data is modified. A second digital representation of the portion of the patient's anatomy is defined based on the modifying of the first digital representation of the anatomic imaging data. A patient-specific prosthesis is generated based at least in part on the second digital representation of the anatomic imaging data.

-49. (canceled)
A method, comprising:
- receiving data representative of a first location of an anatomic feature of a patient's blood vessel;
- modifying the data representative of the first location to predict a second location of the anatomic feature of the patient's blood vessel, the second location different than the first location;
- and
- generating a patient-specific prosthesis having a fenestration at the second location.
A method, comprising:
- receiving data representative of a first location of an anatomic feature of a patient's blood vessel, the patient's blood vessel defining a centerline;
- predicting a shift in the centerline of the patient's blood vessel based on the introduction of a medical device into the patient's blood vessel;
- modifying the data representative of the first location of the anatomic feature to determine a second location of the anatomic feature of the patient's blood vessel based on the predicted shift in the centerline, the second location different than the first location;
- and
- generating a patient-specific prosthesis having a fenestration at the second location.

- modifying the data representative of the first location of the anatomic feature to determine a second location of the anatomic feature of the patient's blood vessel based on the predicted shift in the centerline, the second location different than the first location;
- and
- receiving a stent graft, the stent graft having a fabric graft material disposed on a plurality of support struts;
- and
- forming a fenestration in the fabric graft material at the second location to generate a patient-specific prosthesis.
