Methods and systems for specifying a blood vessel sleeve

A system comprising:

• at least one computing device wherein the at least one computing device has instructions for accepting three-dimensional blood vessel imaging data;
• instructions for applying a sleeve-fitting algorithm to the three-dimensional blood vessel imaging data, wherein the sleeve-fitting algorithm includes a garment-fitting algorithm and takes into account at least one of a branch geometry or geometry of an aneurysm;
• the sleeve-fitting algorithm further including at least one of:
• (a) extracting two or more sets of data, each data set defining a contour of a blood vessel sleeve at least partly based on the three-dimensional blood vessel imaging data, and interpolating data that represent one or more regions between two or more contours of a blood vessel sleeve;
• (b) applying a scale factor to the three-dimensional blood vessel imaging data:
• or
• (c) assigning a set of position coordinates to the three-dimensional blood vessel imaging data and assigning counterpart position coordinates to a blood vessel sleeve model to obtain blood vessel sleeve dimensions
• instructions for presenting a sleeve-fitting algorithm output in response to said applying the sleeve-fitting algorithm to the three-dimensional blood vessel data, wherein the sleeve-fitting algorithm output includes blood vessel sleeve dimensions.
