Cardiac aortic surgery is an extremely complicated procedure that often requires large volume blood transfusions during the operation. Currently, it is not possible to accurately estimate the intraoperative blood transfusion volume before surgery. Th...
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...
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...
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...
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: 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...
