OPTIMIZED TRANSSEPTAL PUNCTURE LOCATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18092977 titled 'OPTIMIZED TRANSSEPTAL PUNCTURE LOCATION
The system described in the patent application includes a display and a processor. The display shows a rendering of part of a septum and left atrium of a patient's heart, while the processor is responsible for identifying the septum, a target anatomical location, calculating a trajectory for a probe to reach the target location, and presenting an entrance location for the probe to cross the septum.
- The system presents a rendering of the septum and left atrium of a patient's heart.
- It identifies the septum and a target anatomical location for a probe to reach.
- The processor calculates a trajectory for the probe to travel between the septum and the target location.
- It identifies an entrance location for the probe to cross the septum and reach the target anatomical location.
- The system presents the entrance location to the user for penetrating the septum.
Potential Applications: - Minimally invasive cardiac procedures - Cardiac catheterization - Surgical planning and navigation
Problems Solved: - Improving accuracy and precision in reaching target anatomical locations within the heart - Enhancing safety and efficiency of cardiac procedures - Facilitating minimally invasive interventions
Benefits: - Reduced risks associated with invasive cardiac procedures - Enhanced precision in reaching target locations - Improved patient outcomes and recovery times
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Cardiac Navigation System for Minimally Invasive Procedures This technology could be utilized in hospitals, cardiac clinics, and surgical centers for a wide range of cardiac interventions, potentially revolutionizing the field of cardiology.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this system improve the accuracy of reaching target anatomical locations within the heart? 2. What are the potential implications of using this technology in minimally invasive cardiac procedures?
Original Abstract Submitted
A system includes a display and a processor. The display is configured to present a rendering of at least part of a septum and a left atrium of a heart of a patient. The processor is configured to (a) identify in the rendering (i) the septum and (ii) a target anatomical location to be reached by a probe via the septum, (b) calculate a trajectory for the probe between the septum and the target anatomical location, including identifying over the septum an entrance location for the probe to cross the septum and reach the target anatomical location, and (c) present the entrance location to a user for penetrating the septum therein.
