This webinar of the VPHi Keynote Webinar Series featuring Assistant Professor Giulia Luraghi from Politecnico di Milano took place on Monday 11 September 2023 at 3pm CEST under the moderation of Anna Ramella, member of the VPHi Young Scientists Committee.
Abstract:
Currently, computer modeling and simulation are increasingly mentioned as technology to represent and predict well-defined quantitative clinical endpoints. Patient-specific modeling can be used to virtually replicate clinical procedures with different aims depending on the different contexts of use. In cardiovascular applications, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is an example of a planned intervention to treat aortic valve disease, while intra-arterial thrombectomy (IAT) is an emergency intervention to treat acute ischemic stroke. In this webinar, patient-specific high-fidelity models of TAVI and IAT will be presented as pre-planning tools in the context of use of the single considered procedure.
