Abstract:
A stent-graft planning system is a web-based system that assists a physician in selecting and ordering the right stent-graft online in real-time. The stent-graft planning system provides a physician with a two-dimensional (2D) graphic model reflecting the individual vessel anatomy, e.g., aneurismal anatomy, and the selected stent graft in that anatomy. By comparing the graphic model with the image of the patient's vessels, the physician can note any dimensions that are inconsistent with the graphic image and problems with the stent-graft placement. Each collected measurement is validated and the physician is warned if the measurement suggests a problem. The stent-graft system automatically generates the most suitable stent graft for an individual patient. After reviewing the selected stent graft in the 2D model, the stent graft can be ordered online.
