Intra-operative fluoroscopy-guided assistance system for transcatheter aortic valve implantation
(2014)
A new surgical assistance system has been developed to assist the correct positioning of the AVP during transapical TAVI. The developed assistance system automatically defines the target area for implanting the AVP under live 2-D fluoroscopy guidance. Moreover, this surgical assistance system works with low levels of contrast agent for the final deployment of AVP, reducing therefore long-term negative effects, such as renal failure in the elderly and high-risk patients.
