Virtual PCI
Predicting the results of your percutaneous coronary intervention using the HeartFlow Planner. From diagnostic coronary CT to a patient-tailored, physiology-guided coronary revascularization in collaboration with HeartFlow Inc.
Online Wall Shear Stress and TSVI
A 3DQCA-based software providing in few minutes reliable WSS simulations. The WSS topological skeleton feature TSVI showed strong predictive capacity for MI. Lesions culprit of future MI had higher area stenosis, pressure gradient, TAWSS and TSVI.
A fruitful collaboration with Politecnico di Torino, CHUV Lausanne and Pie Medical Imaging.
