3D reconstruction from contrast coronary angiography in magnetic percutaneous coronary intervention.
The magnetic navigation system allows precision wire-tip control that is guided by computer generated 3D models based on fluoroscopic images. These images can be post-processed and the information used to facilitate steering of wires in difficult anatomy. This report illustrates two of these reconstruction software packages in a challenging saphenous vein graft case.
