VIVIR
Virtual and Augmented Reality Support for Transcatheter Valve Implantation by using Cardiovascular MRI
Partners: BiocardioLab, Fondazione Toscana “G Monasterio”, Massa, Italy; Institute of Cardiovascular Science, UCL (University College London), London, UK; EndoCAS Center, Università di Pisa, Pisa, Italy.
Summary: Minimally invasive interventions based on transcatheter techniques have dramatically changed the treatment of cardiac valve dysfunction avoiding open-heart surgery. Bioengineering tools can be applied in this context to support a wider use of this technique and safely spread the related advantages. Realistic patient-specific models will be created as a suitable option to accurately test possible interventions. Cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) imaging will be integrated with computer analyses and navigation systems to plan and execute such interventions on a patient-specific basis. This project involves clinical centres and bioengineering laboratories which will work in synergy to support a translation of patient-specific modelling towards clinical benefits.
ValveTech
The Valvetech project (2016-2018) is founded by the Tuscany Region.
Partners: BiocardioLab, Fondazione Toscana “G Monasterio”, Massa, Italy; adult cardiosurgery units of FTGM, the Laboratory for Biomaterials & Graft Technology of IFC-CNR Institute (PI), the Biorobotic Institute of the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, Pisa, Italyand the Endocas center of the University of Pisa.
