HoloPatch: improving intracardiac patch fit through holographically modelled templates.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Structural heart defects, including congenital ventricular septal defect closure or intracardiac rerouting, frequently require surgical reconstruction using hand-cut patch materials. Digitally modelled patch templates may improve patch fit and reduce outflow tract obstruction, residual defect risk, and conduction system damage. In this study, we benchmarked mixed-reality and a desktop application against a digitalized model of a real implanted patch.

Methods and results

Ten patients scheduled for the repair of various defects consented to prospective inclusion in the study. After surgery, a digital model of the implanted patch was created from the residual material. Five clinical experts created 10 digital patches, 1 per patient, both in mixed-reality and desktop applic
