Patient-Specific Modeling and Analysis of the Mitral Valve Using 3D-TEE
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a system dedicated to the analysis of the complex threedimensional anatomy and dynamics of an abnormal heart mitral valve using three-dimensional echocardiography to characterize the valve pathophysiology. This system is intended to aid cardiothoracic surgeons in conducting preoperative surgical planning and in understanding the outcome of “virtual” mitral valve repairs. This paper specifically addresses the analysis of threedimensional transesophageal echocardiographic imagery to recover the valve structure and predict the competency of a surgically modified valve by computing its closed state from an assumed open configuration. We report on a 3D TEE structure recovery method and a mechanical modeling approach used for the valve modeling and simulation.

Towards patient-specific modeling of mitral valve repair: 3D transesophageal echocardiography-derived parameter estimation
Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is routinely used to provide important qualitative and quantitative information regarding mitral regurgitation. Contemporary planning of surgical mitral valve repair, however, still relies heavily upon subjective predictions based on experience and intuition. While patient-specific mitral valve modeling holds promise, its effectiveness is limited by assump...
متن کاملPatient-Specific Computational Simulation of the Mitral Valve Function Using Three-Dimensional Echocardiography
Abnormal mitral valve (MV) morphology may lead to high stress generation. Computational simulation of the MV apparatus may help us better understand and characterize the biomechanics and physiology of MV function and disease-related alterations. The MV apparatus geometry was identified using three-dimensional (3D) transesophageal echocardiographic (TEE) patient data. These data were converted i...
متن کاملMultiplane two-dimensional versus real time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography in ischemic mitral regurgitation.
OBJECTIVES Intraoperative three-dimensional (3D) transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has been suggested to be a valuable technique for the evaluation of the mechanisms of ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR). Studies comparing multiplane two-dimensional (2D) with 3D TEE reconstruction of the mitral valve using the new mitral valve quantification (MVQ) software are lacking. We undertook a pros...

Background: Primary intra cardiac tumors are rare. In this article, we present papillary fibroelastoma of mitral valve chordae. Case Presentation: A 35-year old man presented with atypical chest pain and palpitation. Physical examination and electrocardiogram were normal. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) revealed a mass of 1015 mm attached to chordae of anteromedial papillary muscle of ...
متن کاملEvaluation of transesophageal echocardiography in detecting cardiac sources of emboli in ischemic stroke patients
Background: Embolus is one of the causes of ischemic stroke that can be due to cardiac sources such as valvular heart diseases and atrial fibrillation and atheroma of the aorta. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is superior in identifying potential cardiac sources of emboli. Due to insufficient data on TEE findings in ischemic stroke in Iran, the present study was done to evaluate TEE in...
