Cardiopulmonary bypass surgery, although a highly invasive interventional approach
leading to numerous complications, is still the most common therapy option for treating many …

Objective An interventional system for minimally invasive cardiac surgery was developed for
therapy delivery inside the beating heart, in absence of direct vision. Method A system was …

Minimizing invasiveness associated with cardiac procedures has led to limited visual access
to the target tissues. To address these limitations, we have developed a visualization …

We have developed a visualization environment to assist surgeons with therapy delivery
inside the beating heart, in absence of direct vision. This system employs virtual reality …

Surgeons need a robust interventional system capable of providing reliable, real-time
information regarding the position and orientation of the surgical targets and tools to …

As part of an ongoing theme in our laboratory on reducing morbidity during minimally-
invasive intracardiac procedures, we developed a computer-assisted intervention system …

Off pump intracardiac surgery is an area of research with many unique challenges. Surgical
targets are in constant rapid motion in a blood filled environment that prevents direct line of …
