Abstract
PURPOSE: In this paper, we propose a pilot study for transcatheter aortic valve implantation guided by an augmented magnetic tracking system (MTS) with a dynamic aortic model and intra-operative ultrasound (US) images. METHODS: The dynamic 3D aortic model is constructed from the preoperative 4D computed tomography, which is animated according to the real-time electrocardiograph (ECG) input of patient. Before the procedure, the US probe calibration is performed to map the US image coordinate to the tracked device coordinate. A temporal alignment is performed to synchronize the ECG signals, the intra-operative US image and the tracking information. Thereafter, with the assistance of synchronized ECG signals, the spatial registration is performed by using a feature-based registration. Then the augmented MTS guides the surgeon to confidently position and deploy the transcatheter aortic valve prosthesis to the target. RESULTS: The approach was validated by US probe calibration evaluation and animal study. The US calibration accuracy achieved [Formula: see text], whereas in the animal study on three porcine subjects, fiducial, target, deployment distance and tilting errors reached [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively. CONCLUSION: Our pilot study has revealed that the proposed approach is feasible and accurate for delivery and deployment of transcatheter aortic valve prosthesis.
