Concept of Image Processing in Implementation of Aortic Valve Stent

Abstract

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the world. Heart disease is generally happed due to blockage of Arteries for that Balloon angioplasty is used, it improves necessary blood-flow by inserting a balloon into the affected artery and inflating it in order to compress any plaque present and prop open the artery. One of the solutions for that is coronary stenting.  Stent is tube like geometry and have mesh structure that allows expansion. It can be self expanding or expanded by means of an inflatable balloon. Stenting can be employed following angioplasty in order to prevent the re-narrowing of an artery, or stenting can be performed in one step, in which the artery is opened and the stent is implanted an image processing is having important role in stent implementation provide the interface between the operator and patient. The analysis of geometric (deformation) error of the stent implementation can be easily analyses by image processing in the field of bio medical.
