Abstract

A method of generating a patient-specific prosthesis includes receiving anatomic imaging data representative of a portion of a patient's anatomy. A first digital representation of the anatomic imaging data is defined. The first digital representation of the anatomic imaging data is modified. A second digital representation of the portion of the patient's anatomy is defined based on the modifying of the first digital representation of the anatomic imaging data. A patient-specific prosthesis is generated based at least in part on the second digital representation of the anatomic imaging data.

Claims (35)

1. A method, comprising:

receiving a digital representation of a portion of a patient's blood vessel, the digital representation including data representative of a first location of an anatomic feature of the patient's blood vessel;

modifying the data representative of the first location based on predicted deformation of the portion of the patient's blood vessel to determine a second location of the anatomic feature of the patient's blood vessel, the second location different than the first location; and

generating a patient-specific prosthesis having a fenestration at the second location.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predicted deformation of the portion of the patient's blood vessel is based on a property of a delivery device for delivering the patient-specific prosthesis to the patient.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the delivery device is a guide wire.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the delivery device is a delivery catheter.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predicted deformation of the portion of the patient's blood vessel is based on a property of the patient-specific prosthesis.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the property of the patient-specific prosthesis is the stiffness of the prosthesis.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the property of the patient-specific prosthesis is at least one of the diameter of the prosthesis and the length of the prosthesis.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predicted deformation of the portion of the patient's blood vessel is based on an insertion location of the patient-specific prosthesis.

9. A method, comprising:

receiving a digital representation of a portion of a patient's blood vessel, the digital representation including data representative of a first location of an anatomic feature of the patient's blood vessel;

modifying the data representative of the first location based on predicted change in position of the portion of the patient's blood vessel to determine a second location of the anatomic feature of the patient's blood vessel, the second location different than the first location; and

generating a patient-specific prosthesis having a fenestration at the second location.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the predicted change in position is calculated from a reference point.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein determining the second location of the anatomic feature is calculated automatically.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the automatic calculation of the second location is based on a user input.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the user input includes at least one of an anatomic feature of the patient, a property of the patient-specific prosthesis, a delivery device for delivering the patient-specific prosthesis to the patient, and an insertion location of the patient-specific prosthesis.

14. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

automatically extracting a centerline of the portion of a patient's blood vessel from the digital representation.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the predicted change in position is based on a predicted change in the centerline.

16. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium encoded with processor-executable instruction that, when executed by a processor, performs a method for customizing a patient-specific prosthesis, the method comprising:

receiving, at the processor, a digital representation of the portion of the patient's blood vessel, the digital representation including data representative of a first location of an anatomic feature of the patient's blood vessel;

modifying the data representative of the first location to predict a change of the portion of the patient's blood vessel;

automatically determining a second location of the anatomic feature of the patient's blood vessel based on the modified data, the second location different than the first location; and

providing data representative of the second location of the anatomic feature.

17. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the method includes receiving, at the processor, a user input, the user input including at least one of an anatomic feature of the patient, a property of the patient-specific prosthesis, a delivery device for delivering the patient-specific prosthesis to the patient, and an insertion location of the patient-specific prosthesis.

18. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the predicted change of the portion of the patient's blood vessel is based on a property of a delivery device for delivering the patient-specific prosthesis to the patient.

19. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the predicted change of the portion of the patient's blood vessel is based on a property of the patient-specific prosthesis.

20. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the predicted change of the portion of the patient's blood vessel is based on an insertion location of the patient-specific prosthesis.

21. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 16 , further comprising:

automatically extracting a centerline of the portion of a patient's blood vessel from the digital representation.

22. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 16 , further comprising:

automatically predicting a change in the centerline based on at least one of an anatomic feature of the patient, a property of the patient-specific prosthesis, a property of a delivery device for delivering the patient-specific prosthesis to the patient, and an insertion location of the patient-specific prosthesis.
