Virtual reality utilization for left atrial appendage occluder device size prediction.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To explore the feasibility and accuracy of virtual reality (VR) derived from cardiac computed angiography (CCTA) data to predict left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) device size.

Method

Retrospective data of patients who underwent LAAO according to clinical indication were reviewed; all patients underwent a pre-procedural CCTA. Measurements of the left atrial appendage (LAA) orifice diameters by CCTA, VR, and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) (acquired during the procedure) were compared to the implanted device size. The LAA perimeter was calculated using the Ramanujan approximation. Statistical analyses included Lin's Concordance Correlation Coefficient (ρ _c ), the mean difference, and the mean square error (MSE).
