Towards Patient-Specific Surgical Planning for Bicuspid Aortic Valve Repair: Fully Automated Segmentation of the Aortic Valve in 4D CT
Zaiyang Guo, Ningjun J Dong, Harold Litt +10
The bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most prevalent congenital heart defect and may require surgery for complications such as stenosis, regurgitation, and aortopathy. BAV repair…
