Current and future applications of robotics in structural heart interventions.

EuroIntervention : journal of EuroPCR in collaboration with the Working Group on Interventional Cardiology of the European Society of Cardiology
Robotics entered the cardiovascular field in the late 1990s with a robot-assisted coronary artery bypass graft. Since then, the use of robots has become a common part of cardiovascular surgery in several types of interventions. The experience in tran...

Generative AI models: the next anaesthetic agent?

British journal of anaesthesia
A study by MacKay and colleagues addresses a pressing need in cardiac anaesthesia by demonstrating an innovative method to extract structured data from free-text intraoperative transoesophageal echocardiography reports. Narrative descriptions of echo...

A multi-chamber soft robot for transesophageal echocardiography: continuous kinematic matching control of soft medical robots.

Biomedizinische Technik. Biomedical engineering
OBJECTIVES: This research investigates designing a continuum soft robot and proposing a kinematic matching control to enable the robot to perform a specified medical task, which in this paper is the transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).

Predictors of left atrial appendage thrombus in atrial fibrillation patients undergoing cardioversion.

Journal of interventional cardiac electrophysiology : an international journal of arrhythmias and pacing
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter represent the most prevalent clinically significant cardiac arrhythmias. While the CHA2DS2-VASc score is commonly used to inform anticoagulation therapy decisions for patients with these conditions, ...

Mitral Valve Segmentation and Tracking from Transthoracic Echocardiography Using Deep Learning.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
OBJECTIVE: Valvular heart diseases (VHDs) pose a significant public health burden, and deciding the best treatment strategy necessitates accurate assessment of heart valve function. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the key modality to evaluate...

Deep learning for transesophageal echocardiography view classification.

Scientific reports
Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) imaging is a vital tool used in the evaluation of complex cardiac pathology and the management of cardiac surgery patients. A key limitation to the application of deep learning strategies to intraoperative and i...

Robot-Assisted Transcranial Doppler Versus Transthoracic Echocardiography for Right to Left Shunt Detection.

Stroke
BACKGROUND: Right to left shunt (RLS), including patent foramen ovale, is a recognized risk factor for stroke. RLS/patent foramen ovale diagnosis is made by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), which is insensitive, transesophageal echocardiography,...

A routine de-airing method for total endoscopic robot-assisted mitral valve repair.

General thoracic and cardiovascular surgery
Intraoperative water testing is essential for assessing mitral valve morphology and degree of residual mitral regurgitation during mitral valve repair. However, in some cases, evacuating intracardiac air is challenging. Herein, we report the routine ...
