The startup develops decision-making tools that create patient-specific digital twins and numerical models to simulate the biomechanical behavior of arteries and valves. This technology enables physicians to personalize cardiovascular interventions by providing precise data for preoperative planning and follow-up care.

Problem
Planning and executing cardiovascular interventions, such as EVAR and FEVAR, presents challenges in accurately predicting device-anatomy interaction and potential complications like endoleaks. Traditional methods rely on static pre-operative imaging, which may not fully capture the biomechanical behavior of arteries and valves during and after device implantation. This can lead to suboptimal device selection, placement, and increased risk of post-operative complications.
Solution
PrediSurge offers a precision medicine platform that leverages patient-specific digital twins and numerical modeling to simulate the biomechanical behavior of arteries and cardiac valves. Using pre-operative imaging data, the platform creates a digital replica of the patient's unique anatomy, enabling physicians to investigate different device implantation approaches and determine the optimal strategy. The PlanOp™ Aortic module assists in evaluating the risk of complications by considering the interactions between the endograft and the patient’s anatomy. The iView Colour feature, with its Distance Colour Map, visually highlights potential apposition gaps between the stent graft and the aortic wall, providing a color-coded assessment of potential endoleak risks. This allows for more accurate planning, reduced intervention time, and improved patient outcomes.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes cardiovascular physicians, vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, and medical device companies involved in endovascular interventions, particularly EVAR and FEVAR procedures.
