Abstract

See full text

A resilient model of a heart's atria and associated vasculature is disclosed. The model is generated from CT scans of patients' with varying cardiac anatomies. The model is connected to a temperature-controlled fluid reservoir and a pump that periodically circulates fluid through the cardiac model. The model provides a visual indication of temperature change. The model may be used to simulate endocardial procedures such as pulmonary vein isolation for treatment of atrial fibrillation.
