mit dem Titel

     "Development of a Surgical Assist System for
      Transapical Minimally Invasive Aortic Valve Implantation"


zum Inhalt:

Transapical aortic valve implantation (TA-AVI) is a new minimally 
invasive treatment of aortic stenosis for high-risk patients. 
Through a left lateral mini-thoracotomy and the apex of left 
ventricle, a stented valve bioprosthesis is inserted into the aortic 
root using a catheter. After reaching the correct position, the 
aortic valve prosthesis (AVP) is deployed by an inflatable balloon 
to reach its final diameter, thus fixing the prosthesis to the 
aortic wall.

The correct placement of the prosthesis is crucial. If the AVP is 
placed too high, the coronary arteries may be blocked, resulting in 
an emergency sternotomy. If the AVP is placed too low, the mitral 
valve leaflets might be damaged by the stent.

The motivation of this research is to develop a new surgical system 
that is capable of automatically defining the optimal placement of 
AVP using real-time medical image processing during the 
intervention, preventing the misplacement of the valve.
