Support of Surgical Procedure Decision of Pediatric Congenital Heart Disease (ped UT-Heart)

about

ped UT-Heart is a cardiac simulation medical device under development to support surgical decision-making for pediatric congenital heart disease. It faithfully reproduces the morphology and function of each patient's heart from the molecular and cellular level to the whole heart, blood flow, and circulatory system, and predicts postoperative hemodynamics and cardiac function by performing virtual surgery.

This system is currently in the clinical trial stage and is a medical device unapproved by the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law. It cannot be used for general medical treatment. *This system will be provided to medical institutions after obtaining approval.

Variety of Outputs Helping Your Understanding of Simulation Results

ped UT-Heart visualizes blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and myocardial behavior from multiple angles with numerical, graphical, and 4-dimensional displays. By providing a bird's-eye view of simulation results from various perspectives, UT-Heart provides intuitive and in-depth insight into complex cases.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of medical device is ped UT-Heart?

ped UT-Heart is a cardiac simulation medical device under development to support surgical decision making for pediatric congenital heart disease.
It faithfully reproduces the morphology and function of each patient's heart and performs virtual surgery to predict and visualize postoperative hemodynamics and cardiac function.

In what situations can it be used?

This is to be utilized when reviewing surgical plans for pediatric congenital heart disease surgeries. It is useful when multiple surgical techniques need to be compared, or when more objective judgment is needed for difficult cases.

Does it automatically determine diagnosis and treatment?

No. ped UT-Heart is a cardiac simulation medical device to assist physicians in decision-making and does not automatically determine a diagnosis or treatment plan. The simulation results are used as reference information and the final decision is made by the physician.
