  • Publication number: 20220273369
    Abstract: A method and system for predicting a measure of hemodynamic compromise as a result of transcatheter cardiac treatment. The method includes providing a patient-specific anatomical model representing cardiac region and an implant model representing a three-dimensional representation of a cardiac implant. The method includes virtually deploying said implant model into said patient-specific anatomical model. A deformation of the patient-specific anatomical model is calculated as a result of implant model deployment A measure of hemodynamic compromise is determined from the virtually deployed implant model and the deformed patient-specific anatomical model.

  • Publication number: 20220172848
    Abstract: A method and system for patient-specific predicting of cyclic loading failure of a cardiac implant. The method includes providing an implant model representing a three dimensional mesh based representation of a cardiac implant, and providing a four-dimensional, 4D, patient-specific anatomical model representing a mesh based representation of a patient-specific cardiac region including a deployment site for the cardiac implant in a plurality of states corresponding to a plurality of moments in the cardiac cycle. A computer calculates deformation of the implant model deployed at the deployment site when, or before, the 4D patient-specific anatomical model transforms consecutively through the plurality of states, and the computer determines a risk of cyclic loading failure of the cardiac implant on the basis of the calculated implant deformation.

  • Patent number: 11141220
    Abstract: A method and system for determining a measure of a risk of a patient developing cardiac conduction abnormalities as a result of transcatheter cardiac treatment. The method includes providing a patient-specific anatomical model representing cardiac region and an implant model representing a finite element representation of a cardiac implant. The method includes virtually placing said implant model into said patient-specific anatomical model. A measure of mechanical interaction between the implant model and the patient-specific anatomical model is determined and a measure of risk of the patient developing cardiac conduction abnormalities is determined on the basis of the determined mechanical interaction.
