Computational Modeling of Cardiac Valve Function and Intervention

Computational modeling of cardiac valve function and intervention.

In the past two decades, major advances have been made in the clinical evaluation and treatment of valvular heart disease owing to the advent of noninvasive cardiac imaging modalities. In clinical practice, valvular disease evaluation is typically performed on two-dimensional (2D) images, even though most imaging modalities offer three-dimensional (3D) volumetric, time-resolved data. Such 3D da...

Personalized Computational Modeling of Mitral Valve Prolapse: Virtual Leaflet Resection

Posterior leaflet prolapse following chordal elongation or rupture is one of the primary valvular diseases in patients with degenerative mitral valves (MVs). Quadrangular resection followed by ring annuloplasty is a reliable and reproducible surgical repair technique for treatment of posterior leaflet prolapse. Virtual MV repair simulation of leaflet resection in association with patient-specif...

Intrauterine Cardiac Intervention for Fetal Pulmonary Valve Obstruction Lesion

Most of the congenital heart diseases can be diagnosed in utero using fetal echocardiography. With the development of ultrasonography and intrauterine cardiac intervention technique, fetal cardiac intervention (FCI) for critical aortic stenosis, highly restrictive or intact atrial septum, pulmonary atresia with an intact ventricular septum (PA/ IVS), and critical pulmonary stenosis (CPS) are av...
