Many genetic mutations adversely affect the structure and function of load-bearing soft tissues, with clinical sequelae often responsible for disability or death. Parallel advances in genetics and histomechanical characterization provide significant ...
Computed tomography angiography (CTA) has become the main imaging technique for cardiovascular diseases. Before performing the transcatheter aortic valve intervention operation, segmenting images of the aortic sinus and nearby cardiovascular tissue f...
BACKGROUND: 4D flow MRI allows the analysis of hemodynamic changes in the aorta caused by pathologies such as thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA). For personalized management of TAA, new biomarkers are required to analyze the effect of fluid structure it...
OBJECTIVE: Many robotic mitral surgeons utilize right thoracotomy with transthoracic clamping of the aorta, while a smaller number employ a port-only endoscopic approach with endoaortic balloon occlusion of the aorta. We present our technique for a p...
BACKGROUND: Guidelines recommend that aortic dimension measurements in aortic dissection should include the aortic wall. This study aimed to evaluate two-dimensional (2D)- and three-dimensional (3D)-based deep learning approaches for extraction of ou...

An interventional robot is a means for vascular diagnosis and treatment, and it can perform dredging, releasing drug and operating. Normal hemodynamic indicators are a prerequisite for the application of interventional robots. The current hemodynamic...
Hemodynamic parameters are of great significance in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. However, noninvasive, real-time and accurate acquisition of hemodynamics remains a challenge for current invasive detection and simul...
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE: Reliable detection of thoracic aortic dilatation (TAD) is mandatory in clinical routine. For ECG-gated CT angiography, automated deep learning (DL) algorithms are established for diameter measurements according to current guideline...
Type B aortic dissection is a life-threatening medical emergency that can result in rupture of the aorta. Due to the complexity of patient-specific characteristics, only limited information on flow patterns in dissected aortas has been reported in th...
Coronary artery segmentation is critical for coronary artery disease diagnosis but challenging due to its tortuous course with numerous small branches and inter-subject variations. Most existing studies ignore important anatomical information and vas...
