Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of cardiac radiofrequency ablation technology, and more specifically, to a vascular interventional robot for transcatheter cardiac radiofrequency ablation. Background Technology
[0002] Cardiac radiofrequency ablation is an interventional treatment for tachyarrhythmias. This method involves inserting a very thin catheter into a blood vessel through the neck or groin to reach the affected area in the heart, where radiofrequency current is released to eliminate the "lesion" in one procedure. This non-surgical, minimally invasive method has a very high success rate and has become the preferred method for radically treating tachyarrhythmias.
[0003] With the development of medical technology, surgical robots that assist in radiofrequency ablation have gradually emerged. Stable operation and control can effectively ensure the accuracy of treatment and reduce surgical risks. Currently, most surgical robots mainly guide the entire process of mapping and ablation during surgery. However, the assistance and control for initial path planning and catheter insertion into the cardiac lesion area is not yet mature. Although there are technologies that use AI for path planning, the methods are complex and require a large amount of historical data for intelligent learning support, resulting in low implementation rates for certain medical procedures.
[0004] Therefore, designing a vascular interventional robot for transcatheter radiofrequency ablation of the heart, providing a reasonable and easy-to-implement approach for path planning, and ensuring the smooth and efficient implementation of catheter path navigation in the early stages, is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vascular interventional robot for transcatheter radiofrequency ablation of the heart. By calibrating vascular paths using limited historical navigation planning data and combining this with the real-time vascular status of the surgical subject, a reasonable route plan is developed, forming an effective navigation path plan tailored to the individual patient. This approach avoids the need for extensive path planning data; the use of historical data primarily defines a reference vascular vessel for path selection, as the selected vascular paths in historical data offer a degree of safety and predictability, similar to a physician's experience in finding suitable vascular paths. Furthermore, by leveraging influence data to analyze and assess the patient's vascular status, the selected path is personalized, avoiding the situation where a uniform path plan fails to address the varying vascular conditions of different patients, further reducing the risk of path navigation planning. Of course, the robot also utilizes different functional units to perform mapping, real-time monitoring of the treatment process, and post-treatment analysis, providing comprehensive auxiliary guidance for the interventional procedure.
[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a vascular interventional robot for transcatheter radiofrequency ablation of the heart, configured to: acquire historical ablation navigation path planning data and collect real-time ablation vascular data of the subject for navigation path planning to form real-time ablation navigation path data; collect real-time mapping data of the subject for abnormal location calibration; collect real-time ablation monitoring data and perform real-time monitoring analysis based on process control to form real-time ablation monitoring result information; acquire postoperative electrocardiogram data, perform matching comparison analysis to form postoperative test result data.
[0007] In this invention, the vascular interventional robot calibrates vascular paths using limited historical navigation planning data, and then combines this with the real-time vascular status of the surgical subject to perform reasonable route planning, forming an effective navigation path plan tailored to the individual patient. This approach, on the one hand, does not necessarily require acquiring a large amount of path planning data for path planning; the use of historical data primarily defines a reference vascular vessel for path selection, as the vascular paths selected in historical data have a certain degree of safety and predictability, similar to a doctor's experience in finding suitable vascular paths. On the other hand, it utilizes influence data to perform targeted analysis and judgment of the patient's vascular status, ensuring that the selected path has a personalized setting. This avoids the situation where a uniform path plan fails to address the different vascular conditions of different patients, further reducing the risk of path navigation planning. Of course, the robot also uses different functional units to complete mapping, real-time monitoring of the treatment process, and post-treatment analysis, providing comprehensive auxiliary guidance for the interventional surgery.
[0008] One possible approach involves acquiring historical ablation navigation path planning data and collecting real-time ablation vessel data for the target to perform navigation path planning, thereby forming real-time ablation navigation path data. This includes: extracting all historical single-operation paths from the historical ablation navigation path planning data to form a set of historical single-operation planned paths; extracting the real-time ablation vessel location information from the target's real-time ablation vessel data and, in conjunction with the set of historical single-operation planned paths, calibrating all historical single-operation paths on the target's real-time ablation vessel location information to form a historical ablation planning path network; acquiring real-time vessel status data for all vessel paths in the target's real-time ablation vessel location information and performing a feasibility analysis based on ablation navigation to form real-time feasible vessel navigation data; and combining the historical ablation planning path network data and the target's real-time feasible vessel navigation data to perform path planning analysis and form real-time ablation navigation path data.
[0009] In this invention, when planning real-time ablation navigation paths, two aspects need to be considered. Firstly, regarding the human body, which blood vessels can generally be used for path planning? This is usually based on the surgeon's experience and judgment during surgery. This application, however, can reasonably define this range by combining limited historical navigation planning data. It should be noted that the more historical data used, the clearer the defined range. However, for specific radiofrequency ablation surgeries, the available historical data, especially in medical institutions where data is limited, is limited. Furthermore, most path planning is often based on selection and adaptive adjustments of major blood vessels. Therefore, analyzing the clarity of the range definition for large datasets can control the data volume, reasonably determining the range of usable blood vessel paths while avoiding wasted resources from ineffective analysis of large datasets. Secondly, the condition of blood vessels varies for different patients, especially regarding blockage and tortuosity. Therefore, specific considerations are needed. A reasonable analysis that considers both aspects ensures that the resulting navigation planning path is adaptable and safe.
[0010] One possible implementation involves acquiring real-time vascular status data for all vascular paths within the real-time ablation vascular location information of the object, based on the object's real-time ablation vascular data, and performing a feasibility analysis based on ablation navigation to form real-time feasible vascular navigation data for the object. This includes: performing calcification analysis based on image data based on the real-time vascular status data of all vascular paths to form feasibility analysis results for real-time vascular calcification navigation; performing tortuosity analysis based on image data based on the real-time vascular status data of all vascular paths to form feasibility analysis results for real-time vascular tortuosity navigation; and combining the feasibility analysis results for real-time vascular calcification navigation and the feasibility analysis results for real-time tortuosity navigation to form real-time feasible vascular navigation data for the object.
[0011] In this invention, for blood vessels to ensure smooth catheter passage, they must possess a certain degree of flexibility and patency. However, due to various physical conditions such as high blood lipids and high blood pressure, calcification of blood vessels can increase their rigidity, hindering catheter passage. Therefore, a feasibility analysis of calcification for navigation is necessary. Furthermore, the shape of blood vessels varies among different individuals, especially the degree of tortuosity, which affects catheter passage. Therefore, analyzing the tortuosity of blood vessels is also essential. By analyzing calcification and tortuosity, suitable vascular paths for navigation planning can be identified, providing fundamental parameters for subsequent navigation path planning.
[0012] As one possible implementation, based on real-time vascular status data of all vascular pathways, calcification analysis based on image data is performed to form feasibility analysis results for real-time vascular calcification navigation. This includes: extracting vascular image data from the real-time vascular status data of all vascular pathways to form real-time ablation vascular network image data; setting calcification image parameter thresholds, and calibrating the locations where calcification image parameter values exceed the thresholds in the real-time ablation vascular image data to form initial feasibility analysis results for vascular calcification navigation; and extending the path feasibility calibration of the initial feasibility analysis results for vascular calcification navigation in the following manner: [The text abruptly ends here, likely due to an incomplete sentence or missing information.] If two unconnected adjacent regions have calcification image parameter values exceeding the calcification image parameter threshold, and there are no other vascular connection points between the adjacent regions in the real-time ablation vascular network image data, then the adjacent regions and the area between them are marked as non-navigation segments. For regions on the vascular path whose calcification image parameter values exceed the calcification image parameter threshold, if there are connection points with other vascular channels, then the area between the connection point and the next connection point on the other vessel is marked as a non-navigation segment. All non-navigation segments are marked in the real-time ablation vascular image data to form the feasibility analysis results data for real-time vascular calcification navigation.
[0013] In this invention, the current approach to vascular calcification analysis is based on image data, including CT (computed tomography) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) data. Each has its own applicability, advantages, and disadvantages, and these should be considered together during analysis. Calcification image parameter values can be simple CT values, multi-parameter composite values from other CT images, or comprehensive evaluation values combining CT and MRI. Correspondingly, the calcification image parameter thresholds are numerical data that match the calcification image parameter values. These thresholds can be set based on the actual vascular performance requirements of navigation or based on big data analysis for navigation path planning. Of course, the location of calcification varies depending on the vascular system; some are just a small segment, while others are the entire vascular system. However, since the continuity of the system is necessary for path planning, continuity analysis is required after identifying the calcified area to exclude isolated vascular segments that cannot be included in the path planning. This significantly reduces the amount of data required for subsequent analysis.
[0014] As one possible approach, combining the feasibility analysis results of real-time vascular calcification navigation and real-time vascular tortuosity navigation, real-time feasible vascular navigation data for the target is formed. This includes: extracting all unmarked vascular paths from the real-time ablation vascular imaging data that are not allowed to be navigated based on the feasibility analysis results of real-time vascular calcification navigation, forming uncalcified feasible navigation path data; establishing a tortuosity analysis coordinate system and mapping all vascular paths in the uncalcified feasible navigation path data onto the tortuosity analysis coordinate system, forming uncalcified feasible vascular path coordinate data; extracting the vascular diameter axis from the uncalcified feasible vascular path coordinate data, forming uncalcified feasible vascular axis coordinate data; and performing a curvature-based navigation feasibility analysis based on the uncalcified feasible vascular axis coordinate data to form real-time feasible vascular navigation data for the target.
[0015] In this invention, the analysis of vascular tortuosity is mainly to determine whether there are significant tortuosity changes in the vascular pipeline. Significant tortuosity changes refer to tortuous sections that are not conducive to catheter passage. The analysis in this application mainly involves converting the vascular position data into coordinates and then performing curvature analysis to make a judgment. This can achieve accurate determination of the tortuosity at any position.
[0016] As one possible implementation, based on the coordinate data of uncalcified feasible blood vessel axes, a curvature-based navigation feasibility analysis is performed to form real-time feasible blood vessel navigation data for the object. This includes: performing navigation feasibility analysis on the coordinate data of uncalcified feasible blood vessel axes in the following ways: obtaining the curvature of the blood vessel axes in the coordinate data of uncalcified feasible blood vessel axes to form uncalcified feasible blood vessel curvature data; setting a minimum tortuosity assessment length L0, and extracting the curvature data corresponding to blood vessel axis segments with length values of the minimum tortuosity assessment length L0 sequentially along the blood vessel axis starting from any point in the coordinate data of uncalcified feasible blood vessel axes to form the corresponding extracted segment curvature data; traversing all blood vessel axes in the coordinate data of uncalcified feasible blood vessel axes to form the extracted segment curvature dataset A. n Where n represents the number of the different extracted curvature data segments; for the extracted curvature dataset A n Different curvature data segments were extracted to obtain the corresponding maximum curvature values. and minimum curvature value Determine the mean rate of change of curvature P n ,in, The average rate of change of curvature P corresponding to curvature data of different extracted segments n If P n If P ≤ P0, the vascular path corresponding to the extracted vascular axis segment is marked as a feasible tortuous navigation segment, where P0 represents the average curvature judgment threshold; if P nIf P > P0, the vascular path corresponding to the extracted vascular axis segment is marked as an infeasible tortuous navigation segment; all vascular path segments marked as feasible tortuous navigation segments are collected to form feasible navigation vascular paths; path connectivity analysis is performed on feasible navigation vascular paths to form real-time feasible vascular navigation data for the object.
[0017] In this invention, the tortuosity of catheter passage is not caused by excessive curvature at a single point, but rather by significant changes in curvature along a certain route segment. Therefore, the analysis uses vessel segments as the unit of analysis to determine the reasonableness of tortuosity. The minimum tortuosity assessment length can be set based on actual conditions or determined through large-scale data analysis of the overall vessel curvature. The extracted vessel segments are determined by analyzing the average rate of change of curvature, and the given average curvature judgment threshold can be set according to actual conditions.
[0018] As one possible implementation, path connectivity analysis is performed on feasible navigation vascular paths to form real-time feasible vascular navigation data for the object. This includes performing path connectivity analysis on feasible navigation vascular paths in the following manner: if both ends of an interconnected vascular path segment are disconnected, the corresponding vascular path is marked as a disconnected path; if one end of an interconnected vascular path segment is disconnected, the path from the disconnected end to the nearest connected fulcrum is marked as a disconnected path; and vascular segments marked as disconnected paths are filtered out from the feasible navigation vascular paths to form real-time feasible vascular navigation data for the object.
[0019] In this invention, similar to calcification analysis, ensuring the continuity of the vascular path after tortuosity analysis is crucial for facilitating subsequent path planning analysis. Therefore, connectivity analysis primarily determines whether vascular segments with suitable tortuosity are isolated segments or broken ends. Of course, before performing connectivity analysis, the starting and ending positions need to be calibrated to avoid filtering out segments that would prevent path planning from being completed.
[0020] As one possible approach, combining historical ablation planning path network data and real-time feasible vascular navigation data of the target object, path planning analysis is performed to form real-time ablation navigation path data. This includes: identifying vascular segments in the real-time feasible vascular navigation data of the target object that were previously used as planned paths based on historical ablation planning path network data, and marking feasible paths; based on the marked feasible paths, determining all feasible navigation paths S with the navigation start point and navigation end point as planning targets. k Where k represents the number of the different feasible navigation paths determined; for different feasible navigation paths S k Path length comparison analysis is performed to generate real-time ablation navigation path data.
[0021] In this invention, the pipeline path selected after analyzing the calcification and tortuosity of the vascular tubing is the usable navigation path. The path has multiple options for different objects and actual surgical situations, so all the available paths can be reasonably selected to ensure the variability of matching the actual surgical situation.
[0022] As one possible implementation, different navigation feasible paths S k Path length comparison analysis is performed to generate real-time ablation navigation path data, including: different navigation feasible paths S k Obtain the total path length for each corresponding path. The total number of path pivots Q k Based on the total number of path pivots, different navigational feasible paths S k Sort the paths in ascending order to form the first path selection sorting information; based on the first path selection sorting information, extract the top M feasible navigation paths S. k And based on the corresponding total path length The data is sorted from smallest to largest to form real-time ablation navigation path data.
[0023] In this invention, path selection needs to consider two aspects: firstly, the path length. An excessively long path not only increases the risk of the navigation process but also increases the workload and pressure. Secondly, selecting too many fulcrums along the path complicates the navigation process, similarly increasing the surgical risk, workload, and pressure. Therefore, by statistically analyzing the total path length and the number of fulcrums, viable path selection options can be rationally chosen, improving the rationality of the path planning reference data. The quantity M can be set according to the actual situation.
[0024] One possible approach is to collect real-time ablation monitoring data and perform real-time monitoring analysis based on process control to generate real-time ablation monitoring results, including: extracting different real-time ablation monitoring parameter values based on the real-time ablation monitoring data. Setting threshold values for different real-time ablation monitoring parameters And based on real-time ablation monitoring parameter values Perform the following real-time monitoring and analysis: If any real-time ablation monitoring parameter value exists... satisfy This generates ablation cessation information; if all real-time ablation monitoring parameter values
[0025] satisfy This creates continuous ablation information.
[0026] In this invention, another important role of the auxiliary robot is to monitor the treatment process. Radiofrequency ablation uses the release of electrical energy to destroy cells in abnormal areas. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid tissue carbonization, excessive tissue edema, etc. So it is necessary to monitor parameters such as power, temperature, and impedance during the treatment process. It is understood that any abnormality of any parameter may have a significant impact on the surgical outcome. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the stability of parameters during the treatment process.
[0027] The beneficial effects of the vascular interventional robot for transcatheter cardiac radiofrequency ablation provided by this invention are as follows:
[0028] This vascular interventional robot calibrates vascular paths using limited historical navigation planning data, and then combines this with the real-time vascular status of the surgical subject to create a reasonable route plan, forming an effective navigation path plan tailored to the individual patient. This approach avoids the need for extensive path planning data; the use of historical data primarily defines a reference vascular vessel for path selection, as the selected vascular paths in historical data offer a degree of safety and predictability, similar to a surgeon's experience in finding suitable vascular paths. Furthermore, it leverages influence data to perform targeted analysis and judgment of the patient's vascular status, ensuring a personalized path selection and avoiding the inability of a uniform path plan to accommodate varying vascular conditions in different patients, thus further reducing the risk of path navigation planning. Of course, the robot also utilizes different functional units to perform mapping, real-time monitoring of the treatment process, and post-treatment analysis, providing comprehensive auxiliary guidance for the interventional surgery.

[0032] The technical solutions of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0033] Cardiac radiofrequency ablation is an interventional treatment for tachyarrhythmias. This method involves inserting a very thin catheter into a blood vessel through the neck or groin to reach the affected area in the heart, where radiofrequency current is released to eliminate the "lesion" in one procedure. This non-surgical, minimally invasive method has a very high success rate and has become the preferred method for radically treating tachyarrhythmias.
[0034] With the development of medical technology, surgical robots that assist in radiofrequency ablation have gradually emerged. Stable operation and control can effectively ensure the accuracy of treatment and reduce surgical risks. Currently, most surgical robots mainly guide the entire process of mapping and ablation during surgery. However, the assistance and control for initial path planning and catheter insertion into the cardiac lesion area is not yet mature. Although there are technologies that use AI for path planning, the methods are complex and require a large amount of historical data for intelligent learning support, resulting in low implementation rates for certain medical procedures.
[0035] refer to Figures 1-2 This invention provides a vascular interventional robot for transcatheter radiofrequency ablation of the heart. This robot calibrates vascular paths using limited historical navigation planning data and then combines this with the real-time vascular condition of the surgical subject to perform reasonable route planning, forming an effective navigation path plan tailored to the individual patient. This approach avoids the need for extensive path planning data; the use of historical data primarily defines a reference vascular path for selection, as the selected paths in historical data offer a degree of safety and predictability, similar to a physician's experience in finding suitable vascular paths. Furthermore, it leverages influence data to perform targeted analysis of the patient's vascular condition, ensuring a personalized path selection and preventing uniform path planning from failing to address the varying vascular conditions of different patients, thus further reducing the risk of path navigation planning. The robot also utilizes different functional units to perform mapping, real-time monitoring of the treatment process, and post-treatment analysis, providing comprehensive auxiliary guidance for the interventional procedure.
[0036] The vascular interventional robot used for transcatheter cardiac radiofrequency ablation is specifically configured as follows:
[0037] S1: Obtain historical ablation navigation path planning data and collect real-time ablation vessel data of the target to plan the navigation path and form real-time ablation navigation path data.
[0038] The process involves acquiring historical ablation navigation path planning data and collecting real-time ablation vessel data for the target to plan navigation paths, forming real-time ablation navigation path data. This includes: extracting all historical single-operation paths from the historical ablation navigation path planning data to form a set of historical single-operation planned paths; extracting the real-time ablation vessel location information from the target's real-time ablation vessel data and, in conjunction with the set of historical single-operation planned paths, calibrating all historical single-operation paths on the target's real-time ablation vessel location information to form a historical ablation planning path network; acquiring real-time vessel status data for all vessel paths in the target's real-time ablation vessel location information and performing a feasibility analysis based on ablation navigation to form real-time feasible vessel navigation data; and combining the historical ablation planning path network data and the target's real-time feasible vessel navigation data to perform path planning analysis and form real-time ablation navigation path data.
[0039] When planning real-time ablation navigation paths, two aspects need to be considered. First, from the perspective of the human body, which blood vessels can be used for path planning in general? This is usually based on the surgeon's experience and judgment during the operation. This application, however, can reasonably define this range by combining limited historical navigation planning data. It should be noted that the more historical data used, the clearer the defined range. However, for specific radiofrequency ablation surgeries, the available historical data, especially in the case of limited data in medical institutions, is limited. Furthermore, most path planning is often based on the selection and adaptive adjustment of major blood vessels. Therefore, analyzing the clarity of the range definition for large datasets can control the data volume, reasonably determining the range of usable blood vessel paths, and avoiding the waste of resources caused by ineffective analysis of large datasets. Second, the condition of blood vessels varies for different patients, especially the degree of blockage and tortuosity. Therefore, specific considerations are needed. A reasonable analysis that considers both aspects ensures that the resulting navigation planning path is adaptable and safe.
[0040] Based on the real-time ablation vessel data of the target, real-time vessel status data of all vessel paths in the real-time ablation vessel location information of the target are obtained, and a feasibility analysis based on ablation navigation is performed to form real-time feasible vessel navigation data for the target. This includes: performing calcification analysis based on image data based on the real-time vessel status data of all vessel paths to form feasibility analysis results for real-time calcification navigation; performing tortuosity analysis based on image data based on the real-time vessel status data of all vessel paths to form feasibility analysis results for real-time tortuosity navigation; and combining the feasibility analysis results for real-time calcification navigation and real-time tortuosity navigation to form real-time feasible vessel navigation data for the target.
[0041] For blood vessels to pass smoothly, they must possess a certain degree of flexibility and patency. However, due to various physical conditions such as high blood lipids and high blood pressure, calcification can occur in different individuals, increasing their rigidity and making catheter passage impossible. Therefore, a feasibility analysis for calcification-related navigation is necessary. Furthermore, the shape of blood vessels varies from person to person, especially the degree of tortuosity, which can affect catheter passage. Therefore, analyzing the tortuosity of blood vessels is also essential. By analyzing calcification and tortuosity, suitable vascular routes for navigation planning can be identified, providing basic parameters for subsequent navigation path planning.
[0042] Based on real-time vascular status data from all vascular pathways, calcification analysis based on image data is performed to generate feasibility analysis results for real-time vascular calcification navigation. This includes: extracting vascular image data from the real-time vascular status data of all vascular pathways to form real-time ablation vascular network image data; setting calcification image parameter thresholds and calibrating the locations where calcification image parameter values exceed the thresholds in the real-time ablation vascular image data to form initial feasibility analysis results for vascular calcification navigation; and extending the feasibility of the initial vascular calcification navigation feasibility analysis results by extending the path feasibility calibration of the calibrated calcification images along the vascular pathways. For two unconnected adjacent regions whose parameter values exceed the threshold of calcification image parameters, if there are no other vascular connection points between the adjacent regions in the real-time ablation vascular network image data, then the adjacent regions and the region between the adjacent regions are marked as navigation-disallowed segments. For regions on the vascular path whose calcification image parameter values exceed the threshold of calcification image parameters, if there are connection points with other vascular channels, then the region between the connection point and the next connection point on the other vessel is marked as a navigation-disallowed segment. All navigation-disallowed segments are marked in the real-time ablation vascular image data to form the feasibility analysis results data for real-time vascular calcification navigation.
[0043] For vascular calcification analysis, the current approach is based on imaging data, including CT (computed tomography) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) data. Each has its own applicability, advantages, and disadvantages, and these should be considered together during analysis. Calcification imaging parameter values can be simple CT values, multi-parameter composite values from other CT images, or comprehensive evaluation values combining CT and MRI. Corresponding calcification imaging parameter thresholds are numerical data that match the calcification imaging parameter values. These thresholds can be set based on the actual vascular performance requirements of navigation or based on big data analysis for navigation path planning. Of course, the location of calcification varies depending on the vascular system; sometimes it's just a small segment, and sometimes it's the entire vascular network. However, since the continuity of the network is necessary for path planning, continuity analysis is required after identifying the calcified area to exclude isolated vascular segments that cannot be included in the path planning. This significantly reduces the amount of data required for subsequent analysis.
[0044] Combining the feasibility analysis results of real-time vascular calcification navigation and real-time vascular tortuosity navigation, real-time feasible vascular navigation data for the target is formed. This includes: extracting all unmarked vascular paths from the real-time ablation vascular imaging data that are not allowed to be navigated based on the feasibility analysis results of real-time vascular calcification navigation, forming uncalcified feasible navigation path data; establishing a tortuosity analysis coordinate system and mapping all vascular paths in the uncalcified feasible navigation path data onto the tortuosity analysis coordinate system, forming uncalcified feasible vascular path coordinate data; extracting the vascular diameter axis from the uncalcified feasible vascular path coordinate data, forming uncalcified feasible vascular axis coordinate data; and performing a curvature-based navigation feasibility analysis based on the uncalcified feasible vascular axis coordinate data to form real-time feasible vascular navigation data for the target.
[0045] The analysis of vascular tortuosity mainly determines whether there are significant tortuosity changes in the vascular pipeline. Significant tortuosity changes refer to tortuous sections that are not conducive to catheter passage. The analysis in this application mainly involves coordinate-based analysis of the vascular position data to determine the tortuosity, thus enabling accurate determination of the tortuosity at any location.
[0046] Based on the coordinate data of uncalcified feasible blood vessel axes, a curvature-based navigation feasibility analysis is performed to generate real-time feasible blood vessel navigation data for the target. This includes: performing navigation feasibility analysis on the coordinate data of uncalcified feasible blood vessel axes in the following ways: obtaining the curvature of the blood vessel axes in the coordinate data of uncalcified feasible blood vessel axes to form uncalcified feasible blood vessel curvature data; setting a minimum tortuosity assessment length L0, and extracting the curvature data corresponding to blood vessel axis segments with length values of the minimum tortuosity assessment length L0 sequentially along the blood vessel axis starting from any point in the coordinate data of uncalcified feasible blood vessel axes to form the corresponding extracted segment curvature data; traversing all blood vessel axes in the coordinate data of uncalcified feasible blood vessel axes to form the extracted segment curvature dataset A. n Where n represents the number of the different extracted curvature data segments; for the extracted curvature dataset A n Different curvature data segments were extracted to obtain the corresponding maximum curvature values. and minimum curvature value Determine the mean rate of change of curvature P n ,in, The average rate of change of curvature P corresponding to curvature data of different extracted segments n If P n If P ≤ P0, the vascular path corresponding to the extracted vascular axis segment is marked as a feasible tortuous navigation segment, where P0 represents the average curvature judgment threshold; if P n If P > P0, the vascular path corresponding to the extracted vascular axis segment is marked as an infeasible tortuous navigation segment; all vascular path segments marked as feasible tortuous navigation segments are collected to form feasible navigation vascular paths; path connectivity analysis is performed on feasible navigation vascular paths to form real-time feasible vascular navigation data for the object.
[0047] Of course, for the smoothness of catheter passage, tortuosity is not caused by excessive curvature at a single point, but rather by significant changes in curvature along a certain route segment. Therefore, the analysis uses vessel segments as the unit of analysis to determine the reasonableness of tortuosity. Here, the minimum tortuosity assessment length can be set according to actual conditions or determined based on big data analysis of the overall tortuosity of the vessel. The extracted vessel segments are determined by the average rate of change of curvature, and the given average curvature judgment threshold can be set according to actual conditions.
[0048] Path connectivity analysis is performed on feasible navigation vascular paths to generate real-time feasible vascular navigation data for the object. This includes: performing path connectivity analysis on feasible navigation vascular paths in the following ways: if both ends of an interconnected vascular path segment are disconnected, the corresponding vascular path is marked as a disconnected path; if one end of an interconnected vascular path segment is disconnected, the path from the disconnected end to the nearest connected fulcrum is marked as a disconnected path; vascular segments marked as disconnected paths are removed from the feasible navigation vascular paths to generate real-time feasible vascular navigation data for the object.
[0049] Similar to calcification analysis, ensuring the continuity of the vascular path is crucial after tortuosity analysis to facilitate subsequent path planning. Therefore, connectivity analysis primarily determines whether vascular segments with suitable tortuosity are isolated segments or broken ends. Of course, before performing connectivity analysis, the starting and ending positions need to be calibrated to avoid filtering out segments that would prevent path planning from being completed.
[0050] By combining historical ablation planning path network data and real-time feasible vascular navigation data of the target, path planning analysis is performed to form real-time ablation navigation path data. This includes: identifying vascular segments in the real-time feasible vascular navigation data of the target that were previously used as planned paths based on historical ablation planning path network data, and marking feasible paths; based on the marked feasible paths, determining all feasible navigation paths S with navigation start point and navigation end point as planning targets. k Where k represents the number of the different feasible navigation paths determined; for different feasible navigation paths S k Path length comparison analysis is performed to generate real-time ablation navigation path data.
[0051] The selected vascular pathways after calcification and tortuosity analysis are the usable navigation paths. The paths are multi-selectable for different subjects and actual surgical situations, so all available paths can be selected reasonably to ensure the variability of matching the actual surgical situation.
[0052] For different navigation feasible paths S k Path length comparison analysis is performed to generate real-time ablation navigation path data, including: different navigation feasible paths S k Obtain the total path length for each corresponding path. The total number of path pivots Q k Based on the total number of path pivots, different navigational feasible paths S k Sort the paths in ascending order to form the first path selection sorting information; based on the first path selection sorting information, extract the top M feasible navigation paths S. k And based on the corresponding total path length The data is sorted from smallest to largest to form real-time ablation navigation path data.
[0053] Path selection also needs to consider two aspects: firstly, the path length. An excessively long path not only increases the risk of navigation but also increases the workload and pressure. Secondly, choosing a path with too many pivot points increases the complexity of the navigation process, similarly increasing the risk, workload, and pressure of the operation. Therefore, by statistically analyzing the total path length and the number of pivot points, we can reasonably filter out viable path options and improve the rationality of the path planning reference data. The quantity M can be set according to the actual situation.
[0054] S2: Collect real-time measurement data of the object and calibrate abnormal locations.
[0055] The purpose of mapping is to determine the location of abnormalities, thereby providing locational data for subsequent targeted treatment. Mapping methods include electroanatomical mapping, activation mapping, voltage mapping, impedance mapping, and others, and are relatively mature auxiliary surgical techniques.
[0056] S3: Collect real-time ablation monitoring data and perform real-time monitoring and analysis based on process control to generate real-time ablation monitoring results information.
[0057] Real-time ablation monitoring data is collected and analyzed based on process control to generate real-time ablation monitoring results, including: extracting different real-time ablation monitoring parameter values based on the real-time ablation monitoring data. Setting threshold values for different real-time ablation monitoring parameters And based on real-time ablation monitoring parameter values Perform the following real-time monitoring and analysis: If any real-time ablation monitoring parameter value exists... satisfy This generates ablation cessation information; if all real-time ablation monitoring parameter values satisfy This creates continuous ablation information.
[0058] Another important role of vascular interventional robots is to monitor the treatment process. Radiofrequency ablation uses the release of electrical energy to destroy cells in abnormal areas. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid tissue carbonization, excessive tissue edema, etc. So it is necessary to monitor parameters such as power, temperature, and impedance during the treatment process. It is understandable that any abnormality of any parameter may have a significant impact on the surgical outcome. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the stability of parameters during the treatment process.
[0059] S4: Obtain postoperative electrocardiogram data, perform matching comparison analysis, and generate postoperative test results data.
[0060] After treatment, electrocardiogram (ECG) data needs to be acquired and compared with standard ECG data to confirm the effectiveness of the surgical treatment.
[0061] This application also provides the specific system configuration of the vascular interventional robot. It includes a data acquisition unit for acquiring historical ablation navigation path planning data, real-time object mapping data, real-time ablation monitoring data, and postoperative electrocardiogram (ECG) data; a planning and analysis unit for performing path planning analysis on the historical ablation navigation path planning data and real-time object mapping data acquired by the data acquisition unit to form real-time ablation navigation path data; a mapping and analysis unit for calibrating abnormal locations based on the real-time object mapping data acquired by the data acquisition unit; a real-time monitoring unit for performing real-time monitoring and analysis on the real-time ablation monitoring data acquired by the data acquisition unit to form real-time ablation monitoring result information; and a verification and analysis unit for performing matching analysis on the postoperative ECG data acquired by the data acquisition unit to form postoperative test result data.
[0062] In summary, the beneficial effects of the vascular interventional robot for transcatheter cardiac radiofrequency ablation provided by the embodiments of the present invention are as follows:
[0063] This robot calibrates vascular pathways using limited historical navigation planning data and then combines this with the real-time vascular status of the surgical subject to plan a reasonable route, forming an effective navigation path plan tailored to the individual patient. This approach avoids the need for extensive path planning data; the use of historical data primarily defines a reference vascular pathway for path selection, as the chosen pathways in historical data offer a degree of safety and predictability, similar to a surgeon's experience in identifying suitable pathways. Furthermore, it leverages influence data to analyze the patient's vascular status, ensuring a personalized path selection and preventing uniform path planning from failing to address the varying vascular conditions of different patients, thus further reducing the risk of path navigation planning. Of course, the robot also utilizes different functional units to perform mapping, real-time monitoring of the treatment process, and post-treatment analysis, providing comprehensive auxiliary guidance for interventional surgery.

The information indicated by a certain piece of information is called the information to be instructed. In the specific implementation process, there are many ways to instruct the information to be instructed, such as, but not limited to, directly instructing the information to be instructed, such as the information to be instructed itself or its index. It can also indirectly instruct the information to be instructed by instructing other information, where there is a relationship between the other information and the information to be instructed. It can also instruct only a part of the information to be instructed, while the other parts are known or pre-agreed upon. For example, the instruction of specific information can be achieved by using a pre-agreed (e.g., protocol-defined) arrangement of various pieces of information, thereby reducing instruction overhead to some extent. At the same time, common parts of various pieces of information can be identified and uniformly indicated to reduce the instruction overhead caused by individually indicating the same information.
