Machine learning used for simulation of MitraClip intervention: A proof-of-concept study

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Severe mitral regurgitation (MR) is a mitral valve disease that can lead to lifethreatening complications. MitraClip (MC) therapy is a percutaneous solution for patients who cannot tolerate surgical solutions. In MC therapy, a clip is implanted in the heart to reduce MR. To achieve optimal MC therapy, the cardiologist needs to foresee the outcomes of different scenarios for MC implantation, including the location of the MC. Although finite element (FE) modeling can simulate the outcomes of different MC scenarios, it is not suitable for clinical usage because it requires several hours to complete. Methods: In this paper, we used machine learning (ML) to predict the outcomes of MC therapy in less than 1 s. Two ML algorithms were used: XGBoost, which is a decision tree model, an
