Abstract: An implant (20) comprises a wall (28) that surrounds a lumen (44). A delivery tool (8) comprises a catheter (22), a control assembly (64), and an ultrasound tool (36). The catheter is transluminally advanceable into a subject, and has a distal opening. The implant can be delivered via the catheter. The control assembly can advance at least a portion (70) of the wall out of the distal opening, and can steer the catheter to place the portion against a site of a tissue of the subject, the site disposed distally from the portion and opposite the distal opening. The ultrasound tool can (i) position an ultrasound transceiver within the lumen and facing the portion, and (ii) facilitate imaging of the site by transmitting ultrasound energy through the portion. An anchor driver can anchor the implant to the tissue by driving an anchor through the portion and into the site.

Abstract: Methods for guiding a surgical procedure include accessing information relating to a surgical procedure, accessing at least one image of a surgical site captured by an endoscope during the surgical procedure, identifying a tool captured in the at least one image by a machine learning system, determining whether the tool should be changed based on comparing the information relating to the surgical procedure and the tool identified by the machine learning system, and providing an indication when the determining indicates that the tool should be changed.

Abstract: A co-registration system includes a processor circuit that corrects the location of an indicator identifying a radiopaque portion of an intravascular catheter shown in an x-ray image and corrects the shape of a pathway defined by the movement of the radiopaque portion. The processor circuit receives, from the x-ray imaging device, x-ray images of a blood vessel while the intravascular catheter/guidewire moves through the blood vessel. The processor circuit receives, from the catheter, intravascular data representative of the blood vessel while the catheter moves through the blood vessel. The processor circuit co-registers the intravascular data to an x-ray image received from the x-ray imaging device. The processor circuit also displays the location indicator identifying the location of the radiopaque portion of the catheter in each x-ray image. In response to a user input, the processor circuit moves the location indicator to a corrected location. The processor circuit also modifies the shape of the pathway of the catheter in response to a user input. The processor circuit then completes the co-registration process again after either of these changes are made.

Abstract: Provided is a system, method, and computer program product for tracking a needle. The method includes determining a visibility of the needle being inserted into a subject in an image of a sequence of images, in response to determining that the visibility satisfies a visibility threshold, detecting a location of the needle based on at least one first algorithm and a detected curvature of the needle, in response to determining that the visibility does not satisfy the visibility threshold, detecting the location of the needle being inserted based on at least one second algorithm, and tracking the location of the needle in the sequence of images based on locations detected with the at least one first algorithm and the at least one second algorithm.
