Measure the annulus, LVOT, sinuses and STJ, place catalogue valves in the patient’s root, and see how much larger a valve fits after a Nicks, Manougian or Y-incision enlargement.
Mark the annulus on CT for surgical valve sizing.
Measure the annulus, LVOT, sinuses, and sinotubular junction on CT.
View a surgical valve in the measured anatomy. Compare valve size and placement before surgery.
Review the aortic root and compare Nicks, Manougian, and Y-incision enlargement plans.
Create a report with the measurements and valve placement plan for the surgical team.
Keep measurements, valve placement, and root plans together in a report.
Check the annular measurements against the CT images and save them with the case.
Compare Nicks, Manougian, and Y-incision plans before surgery.
Review a TAVR plan alongside the SAVR plan when both are available.
Ask our team to walk through annular sizing and root enlargement planning.
