Abstract

The minimally invasive aortic valve replacement procedure provides a good alternative to conventional open heart surgery. Currently, Planning of the mini-AVR is supported by the selection of closest intercostal space to the sinutubular junction manually. In this work, we automate and standardize this planning by automatically detecting the intercostal spaces and the sinutubular junction, from which we calculate the closest incision location. The proposed algorithm provides qualitatively and quantitative accurate results; where the sinutubular junction detection has mean error of 3.4 mm. This work has the potential to be implemented in the clinical practice for reproducible and accurate mini-AVR planning
