Mixed reality navigation of a systemic venous baffle obstruction: unravelling the percutaneous approach in atrial switch operation

Multimodal Imaging with 3D-Holograms for Preoperative Planning in Pediatric Cardiac Surgery: A Unique Case Report

“…In fact, it overcomes its limitation in term of materials selection, long processing times, and costs. 3D holographic technology is today common practice in the pre-operative evaluation of complex CHD in many specialized centres, where multidisciplinary teams try to offer a more "personalized" approach to the most complex patients [1][2][3][9][10][11].…”

“…Current clinical applications include minimally invasive cardiac procedures, mitral valve surgery, and trans-catheter interventional procedures [2,[7][8][9][10][11].…”

“…Augmented or mixed reality, in fact, accounting for head-sets made of translucent glasses, allows for real-time rendering of holographic 3D contents in the surrounding world, while preserving the interaction with the actual environment [1]. This technology is currently used for education, simulation, and procedural planning in the surgical and/or trans-catheter treatment of patients with congenital and acquired heart disease [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10], but still presents some limitations.…”

Feasibility study of a mixed reality tool for real 3D visualization and planning of left atrial appendage occlusion

“…Approaches that exploit Mixed Reality (MxR) could further improve CT-based planning because MxR allows for real 3D visualizations, 3D quantifications and interactions with holographic replica of the anatomy. [3][4][5] The workflow we are proposing for planning LAA occlusion through MxR includes two phases:…”

OUP accepted manuscript

“…42,43 Several studies investigated the value of VR and AR in surgical or interventional therapy planning. 44,45 Ong et al 46 reported that use of VR presurgical planning in complex CHD allowed interaction with intra-and extracardiac anatomy. The authors concluded that VR served as a valuable complement to traditional preoperative planning methods.…”
