Save Time with AI-based Anatomical Analysis

The new version of FEops HEARTguide™ – now with DICOM interface – has been developed for fast and accurate anatomical analysis. It includes semi-automatic identification and measurement of anatomical landmarks. The DICOM interface allows cardiologists, medical care providers, researchers, and others to easily conduct a full review of a patient’s anatomical landmarks.

Key benefits:

Semi-automatic identification and measurement of anatomical landmarks.
Users have full control thanks to the manual measurement options.
Interactive analysis between 2D and 3D Viewer for each landmark.

All the necessary tools close at hand
FEops HEARTguide™ provides general functionalities such as:
– Segmentation of cardiovascular structures.
– Visualization and image reconstruction techniques: 2D review and MPR.
– Tools for taking measurements and making annotations.

Left Atrial Appendage Occlusions

Improved efficiency and outcomes of LAAO procedures¹

Get unique insights and make LAAO procedures more predictable with FEops HEARTguide™

FEops HEARTguide™ enables a clear assessment of a patient’s anatomy. The software provides a segmentation of the left side of the heart with semi-automatic identification and measurement of anatomical landmarks. The 3D Model can be rotated to enable detailed assessment of left atrial appendage (LAA) morphology. It is also possible to evaluate different device sizes and positioning options using predicted device apposition, frame deformation and compression rate of the simulated LAA occluder. And physicians can select the optimal device size and implant position for a patient by using predictive simulation to see how a specific LAA occluder will interact with that patient’s unique anatomy.

Key benefits:
- Predict device apposition, frame deformation and compression rate.
- Select the optimal device size and implant position for a specific patient.
- C-arm angulation with pre-defined views: optimal projection and lateral-apical for TSP guidance.
- Improve procedural success rates by using one device and one deployment¹

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Improved decision-making for complex TAVI cases

Plan even your most challenging TAVI cases with confidence

FEops HEARTguide™ lets physicians accurately predict which patients are at risk for new pacemakers or paravalvular leaks via aortic root assessment and patient-specific digital simulations. It enables them to select the best size and position of valve for a specific patient. It also allows for better assessment of implant depth with precise and predictive simulations for different device sizes, including data-driven insights such as frame deformation, displacement of leaflet calcification, and paravalvular-leak predictions.

Key benefits
- Assess potential complications for different device sizes and positions.
- Accurately predict which patients are at risk for new pacemakers or paravalvular leaks.²
- Most appropriate treatment modality for patients with Bicuspid Aortic Valve (BAV) .³
- Select proper angulation with pre-defined views: “Cusp Overlap” view and “Three-cusp” view.

Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement

Early evidence supports the use of FEops simulation technology in TMVR

Neo-left ventricle outflow tract (neo-LVOT) assessment
● Early research² supports the use of FEops simulation technology in transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR).
● FEops HEARTguide provides a finite element simulation based on segmentation of the CT scan. This enables it to calculate the neo-LVOT area at various heights of deployment.

Transcatheter mitral valve replacement in mitral annulus calcification (MAC)
● Computer simulation may have the potential to improve patient selection for transcatheter mitral valve replacement in the presence of significant MAC.³
