Computer-based methods for planning catheter-based interventions
By generating a digital model of the patient's heart using a computing device, the catheter trajectory is planned and the most suitable catheter is selected, solving the problem of difficult catheter selection, improving the accuracy and efficiency of the operation, and reducing radiation and waste.

AI Technical Summary
Selecting the appropriate catheter for catheter-based delivery of a prosthetic mitral valve or left atrial appendage occlusion device presents challenges. Current techniques make it difficult to precisely select the catheter based on the patient's anatomy, leading to prolonged operation time, increased radiation exposure, and material waste.
The computer generates a digital model of the patient's heart, identifies the entry and target of the anatomical region of interest, plans the catheter trajectory, and selects the most suitable catheter, taking into account the catheter's geometric data and operational constraints to reduce the selection of unsuitable catheters.
It improves the precision and efficiency of surgery, reduces surgical time, radiation exposure and material waste, and improves surgical outcomes.
