چکیده

Heart valves are functionally complex, making surgical repair difficult. Simulation-based surgical planning could facilitate repair, but current finite element studies are prohibitively slow for rapid, clinically-oriented simulations. An anisotropic, nonlinear mass-spring (M-S) model is used to approximate the behavior of valve leaflets and applied to fully image-based mitral valve models to simulate valve closure for fast applications like intraoperative surgical planning. This approach is used to simulate a technique used in valve repair and to assess the role of chordae in determining the closed configuration of the valve. Direct image-based comparison is used for validation. Results of M-S model simulations showed that it is possible to build fully image-based models of the mitral valve and to rapidly simulate closure with sub-millimeter accuracy. Chordae, which are presently difficult to image, are shown to be strong determinants of closed valve shape.

Image-based mass-spring model of mitral valve closure for surgical planning

Surgical repair of the mitral valve is preferred in most cases over valve replacement, but replacement is often performed instead due to the technical difficulty of repair. A surgical planning system based on patient-specific medical images that allows surgeons to simulate and compare potential repair strategies could greatly improve surgical outcomes. In such a surgical simulator, the mathemat...

Surgical repair of the mitral valve results in better outcomes than valve replacement, yet diseased valves are often replaced due to the technical difficulty of the repair process. A surgical planning system based on patient-specific medical images that allows surgeons to simulate and compare potential repair strategies could greatly improve surgical outcomes. The system must simulate valve clo...

Fast Simulation of Mitral Annuloplasty for Surgical Planning

Mitral valve repair is a complex procedure that requires the ability to predict closed valve shape through the examination of an unpressurized, accid valve. These procedures typically include the remodeling of the mitral annulus through the insertion of an annuloplasty ring. While simulations could facilitate the planning of the procedure, traditional finite-element models of mitral annuloplast...

Patient-Specific Mitral Leaflet Segmentation from 4D Ultrasound

Segmenting the mitral valve during closure and throughout a cardiac cycle from four dimensional ultrasound (4DUS) is important for creation and validation of mechanical models and for improved visualization and understanding of mitral valve behavior. Current methods of segmenting the valve from 4DUS either require extensive user interaction and initialization, do not maintain the valve geometry...
