  • Publication number: 20240273822
    Abstract: A three-dimensional geometric model of a heart can be generated from a plurality of two-dimensional image slices of the heart collected using an intracardiac echocardiography (“ICE”) catheter. Each image slice can be associated with localization information for the ICE catheter. The image slices can be output in a plurality of voxels according to their associated localization information, thereby creating a three-dimensional geometric model of the heart. Data sufficiency of the three-dimensional model can also be graphically represented. For example, data sufficiency can be represented using voxel opacity, a one-dimensional illustration, a two-dimensional illustration, and/or a data collection cue.

  • Publication number: 20240164751
    Abstract: A flexible electronic circuit, as may be used in an intravascular catheter, includes a flexible substrate having opposing first and second surfaces, one or more recesses into the first surface, one or more localization elements respectively disposed within the recesses, and a conductive connector pad on the substrate. Additional components, such as thermistors and ultrasound transducers, may also be mounted to the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20240123193
    Abstract: A pull wire assembly for a steerable medical device can include wire lock and a wire. The wire lock includes a spool body having first and ends and first and second rims respectively around the first and second ends. A through-hole extends diametrically through the spool body. The wire enters through a distal end of the through-hole, emerges through a proximal end of the through-hole, wraps around an exterior of the spool body, re-enters into the distal end of the through-hole, and re-emerges through the proximal end of the through-hole. The wire may make multiple such passes. The wire may also be tensioned to at least partially embed into the surface of the spool body.
