METHOD FOR DEFINING A PLACEMENT POSITION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240041528 titled 'METHOD FOR DEFINING A PLACEMENT POSITION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a planning method for placing a stent in the abdominal aorta of a subject with an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Image data is used to identify the aneurysm sac, aneurysm neck, lower renal aortic ostium, and distances between these points. The first distance is compared to a minimum stent length, and a stent placement position is defined based on a selected stent length to align the distal end of the stent with the distal end of the aneurysm neck.

  • The method helps in planning the placement of a stent in the abdominal aorta of a subject with an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
  • Image data is used to identify key points and distances in the abdominal aorta.
  • The first distance is compared to a minimum stent length to determine the appropriate stent placement position.
  • The stent is positioned such that its distal end aligns with the distal end of the aneurysm neck.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Improved planning and placement of stents in the abdominal aorta for subjects with abdominal aortic aneurysms.
  • Enhanced accuracy and precision in stent placement, reducing the risk of complications and improving patient outcomes.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides a method for determining the optimal placement position of a stent in the abdominal aorta, specifically for subjects with abdominal aortic aneurysms.
  • Helps in avoiding under-sizing or over-sizing of stents, which can lead to complications such as stent migration or endoleaks.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Increases the success rate of stent placement procedures in the abdominal aorta.
  • Reduces the risk of complications associated with stent placement.
  • Improves patient outcomes by ensuring accurate and precise stent positioning.


Original Abstract Submitted

a planning method for defining a placement position of a stent in an abdominal aorta of a subject is described. an abdominal aortic aneurysm portion of the abdominal aorta has an aneurysm sac and an aneurysm neck, a distal end of the aneurysm neck, a lower renal aortic ostium, a first distance between a distal end of the lower renal aortic ostium and the distal end of the aneurysm neck, and a second distance between a proximal end of the lower renal aortic ostium and the distal end of the aneurysm neck are identified in image data. the first distance is compared with a minimum stent length. a stent placement position is defined based on a selected stent length such that a distal end of the stent is aligned with the distal end of the aneurysm neck.
