Title
Simulation and planning of minimally invasive coronary artery bypass surgery
Abstract
Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass surgery needs careful planning, as the spatial range is much more restricted than in conventional approaches. We have developed the first steps towards a simulation and planning system for these procedures. Our approach is based on registering a virtual heart model to CT images of the patient. Such a model can embed empirical parameters about the intraoperative movement of elastic tissue to provide estimates for the motion range of target markers.
