Abstract

Purpose:
Fluoroscopy and two-dimensional (2D) digital subtraction angiog- raphy provide guidance in endovascular aortic repair procedures but introduce obvious disadvantages such as radiation exposure and administration of contrast agent. Our study describes a potential radiation-sparing guidance system that combines electromagnetic (EM) tracking of endovascular tools, such as wires and catheters, and augmented reality (AR) to display navigation data. This information includes three-dimensional (3D) aortic models and virtual angioscopy images built from preoperative computed tomography (CT) scans. In addition, this study assessed the latency of displaying virtual angioscopy images on the AR glasses and the navigation accuracy.
