Augmented Visualization for Minimally Invasive Cardiovascular Surgery AugMed3D

Project Abstract:

Minimally invasive cardiothoracic surgery MICS has been shown to have many benefits for patient care such as smaller scars less pain shorter hospital stay after surgery lower risk of infection and bleeding shorter recovery time and faster return to normal activities However the smaller surgical exposure leads to inherently decreased anatomical visibility for the surgeon which presents difficulty in navigating to and operating within the field of interest and results in adding time to the procedure Dr Roselli and colleagues at Cleveland Clinic are developing a new visualization system that enables Augmented Reality AR guidance during minimally invasive cardiovascular surgery with aortic valve repair as the first targeted application The project is directed towards development of a softwarebased Augmented Reality 3D visualization system AugMed3D which will register and combine direct visualization of the surgical field with a semitransparent 3D digital model obtained via preoperative radiological imaging and displayed through optical seethrough eyewear devices The benefit will be improved intraoperative visualization to enhance anatomic localization and navigation resulting in decreased learning curve operative complexity and procedure time and improved healthcare economics
