This article describes a planning program and process for the implant size and position planning for the minimally-invasive closure of the left atrial appendage. To prevent strokes in patients suffering from atrial fibrillation an implant that occludes the orifice of the left atrial appendage can be inserted into the heart through a catheter. A critical step during the procedure is the correct choice...
The catheter based minimally-invasive closure of the left atrial appendage for stroke prevention can be realized by placing foldable structures in the heart with the help of a catheter. As a platform for the development and the evaluation of new devices, a phantom was developed that allows to perform the intervention under realistic imaging conditions. The centerpiece of the phantom is an anatomical...
