ABSTRACT
Cardiac catheterization is a delicate strategy often used during various heart procedures. However, the procedure carries a myriad of risks associated with it, including damage to the vessel or heart itself, blood clots, and arrhythmias. Many of these risks increase in probability as the length of the operation increases, creating a demand for a more accurate procedure while reducing the overall time required. To this end, we developed an adaptable virtual reality simulation and visualization method to provide essential information to the physician ahead of time with the goal of reducing potential risks, decreasing operation time, and improving the accuracy of cardiac catheterization procedures. We additionally conducted a phantom study to evaluate the impact of using our virtual reality system prior to a procedure.
