  • Publication number: 20250134643
    Abstract: The invention relates to determining a model of a cardiac implant deployed in a cardiac region of a patient. A database including a plurality of different records is provided, each record including at least data representative of an image of a cardiac region and an associated model of the cardiac implant deployed in said cardiac region. A patient-specific image of the cardiac region for which the model of the cardiac implant deployed in said cardiac region is to be determined, is received. An approximation of the patient-specific image of the cardiac region is calculated based on a weighted combination of images of the cardiac region in a plurality of records. The model of the cardiac implant deployed in the cardiac region associated to the patient-specific image of said cardiac region is determined based on weighted combination of models of the cardiac implant associated to the images of the cardiac region in the plurality of records used for approximating said patient-specific image of the cardiac region.

  • Publication number: 20250134597
    Abstract: A system and method for selecting, from a series of cardiac implants having different sizes, the cardiac implant having optimum size for implantation in a patient. The method includes obtaining data representative of a patient-specific cardiac region and predicting the optimum size of the cardiac implant best matching a predefined criterion when deployed in the cardiac region. The predicting includes querying a database; determining parameter values for a parametric model representation of the patient-specific cardiac region; and/or entering the data representative of the patient-specific cardiac region into an artificial intelligence device.

  • 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.
