DASI Simulations PrecisionTAVI is a computer simulation device that predicts implant frame deformation after implantation of a Transcatheter Heart Valve (THV) device. The simulation combines a predefined THV device model and size with a patient-specific model of the patient’s anatomy thereby predicting the post deployment deformation of the THV and the anatomy. The simulation results are intended to be used by qualified clinicians as additional information for planning transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). PrecisionTAVI conducts TAVR device deployment simulation using proprietary computational modeling technology. The input for the simulation is a 3D model of the patient anatomy. The 3D model is generated from 2D medical images of the patient anatomy (multi-slice Cardiac Computed Tomography). The simulation output is a report with 3D visualization capability to depict the predicted deformed THV in the deformed patient-specific anatomy of the aortic valve and root. The 3D model generation and the report generation from the simulation is performed by trained operators at DASI Simulations using an established workflow. The report is accessible to the end user as a download from the DASI Simulations portal with a standard web browser.

 

PrecisionTAVI is an optional, non-invasive, post processing software solution that is indicated for patient-specific simulations of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) during procedural planning. The software performs computer simulation to predict post TAVR in vivo valve frame deformation of clinician selected Transcatheter Heart Valve (THV) device types and sizes. The information provided by PrecisionTAVI is intended for use by cardiologists, radiologists, and clinical specialists, and is not intended in any way to eliminate, replace, or substitute for, in whole or in part, the healthcare provider’s judgment and analysis of the patient’s condition. The clinician receiving the images retains the responsibility for interpreting and validating all information and making all patient treatment decisions. PrecisionTAVI is not intended to replace the simulated device’s instructions for use for final TAVR device selection and placement.
