SYSTEMS AND APPARATUSES FOR FOR NAVIGATION AND PROCEDURAL GUIDANCE OF LASER LEAFLET RESECTION UNDER INTRACARDIAC ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18574775 titled 'SYSTEMS AND APPARATUSES FOR FOR NAVIGATION AND PROCEDURAL GUIDANCE OF LASER LEAFLET RESECTION UNDER INTRACARDIAC ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY

The patent application describes systems and apparatuses for a resection procedure, specifically focusing on the use of an Intracardiac Echocardiography (ICE) probe in a Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) procedure.

• The apparatus includes an ICE probe and a processor device that provides positional feedback to the user as the ICE probe is manually positioned within cardiac anatomy.
• The processor device utilizes a model to guide the manual positioning of the ICE probe based on anatomical recognition of the cardiac anatomy.
• The manually positioned ICE probe enables the capture of a view of target cardiac anatomy in combination with the use of a catheter during the TAVR procedure.

Potential Applications: - Improved guidance for positioning medical devices during cardiac procedures. - Enhanced visualization of cardiac anatomy for more accurate interventions.

Problems Solved: - Difficulty in accurately positioning medical devices within cardiac anatomy. - Limited visibility of target cardiac anatomy during procedures.

Benefits: - Increased precision in positioning medical devices. - Better outcomes for patients undergoing cardiac procedures.

Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Cardiac Intervention Guidance System This technology could be utilized in hospitals and medical centers for various cardiac procedures, potentially improving patient outcomes and reducing complications.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the use of the ICE probe improve the accuracy of positioning during cardiac procedures? 2. What are the potential cost-saving benefits of using this technology in cardiac interventions?

Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and apparatuses for a resection procedure are provided. The apparatus includes an Intracardiac Echocardiography (ICE) probe for use in a Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) procedure, the ICE probe; and a processor device coupled to the ICE probe to provide positional feedback to a user about the ICE probe position as the ICE probe is positioned manually within cardiac anatomy wherein the processor device is configured to implement a model to provide guidance to manually position the ICE probe based on anatomical recognition of the cardiac anatomy wherein a manually positioned ICE probe is located at a position in the cardiac anatomy to enable capture of a view of a target cardiac anatomy in combination with the use of a catheter used while performing the TAVR procedure.
