“Integration of Advanced Imaging and AI-Guided Navigation”
- One of the key emerging trends in the global structural heart devices market is the integration of advanced imaging modalities (such as 3D echocardiography, CT, and MRI) and AI-guided navigation systems to support complex structural heart interventions
- These technologies enhance the precision and safety of procedures such as transcatheter valve replacements and repairs by providing real-time, high-resolution, and dynamic imaging of cardiac structures
- For instance, 3D echocardiography allows cardiologists to visualize cardiac anatomy in greater detail, which is critical for procedures such as transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR) and left atrial appendage closure (LAAC)
- AI and machine learning algorithms further aid in automated image analysis, procedural planning, and risk assessment, helping clinicians make faster and more informed decisions
- This trend is revolutionizing the field of structural heart therapy, leading to better clinical outcomes, shorter procedure times, and expanding the scope of minimally invasive cardiac interventions for high-risk and elderly populations
