Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method and system are provided that provide feedback regarding lead stability for a candidate target vessel, and provide guidance on a type of lead to be used. The method and system utilize a surgical navigation system and information regarding patient anatomy to predict lead stability within the patient anatomy. The method and system provide patient-specific force measurements for one or more vessels of a patient.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A system for determining a lead placement site within patient anatomy, the system comprising: at least one processor configured to calculate a lead stability index (LSI) relating to a lead placement site for one or more candidate vessels; and a display operatively coupled to the at least one processor, wherein the display is configured to show data related to the lead placement site, and wherein the at least one processor is configured to display the data…
