GE Healthcare Valve Planning Protocol - Manual

Visualization and quantification of
cardiac anatomy for effective
treatment strategies.
GE Healthcare
Overview
The Valve Planning protocol in the
Vessel IQ Xpress application lets you
visualize cardiac anatomy with the
degree of detail required to evaluate
the presentation of the aortic valve.
Armed with this information, you
can develop a pre-
proceduralTAVR/TAVI plan to
establish a therapy strategy for the
patient.
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement/Implantation
(TAVR/TAVI) demands meticulous, detailed planning to be
successful. Providing you with the necessary information,
confirmation of valve stenosis, viable access approach, distances
to ostia, elliptical aortic root dimensions, identification of the valve
plane and appropriate angle for valve deployment in the cathlab,
for example; is vital to your planning. You need a protocol that
helps process imaging data into 3D models to help you better
understand a particular patient’s cardiac anatomy and aid in
developing an appropriate therapy path and strategy.
• Lets you segment the aorta
from iliacs to aortic root.
• Let’s you select the access
route.
• Let’s you see vessel tortuosity
and 3D visualization of
calcifications.
• Lets you measure the aortic
annulus and define valve plane
to help you select the
appropriate device to implant.
• Lets you measure the distance
between the leaflets and
coronary ostia for planning
valve deployment
• Automatically gives you the
optimized angle for the
intervention.
