TAVI-TEC
The new era of planning
for Structural Heart Interventions
We reduce uncertainty in redo-TAVI procedures with patient-specific simulations powered by AI and Engineering.

Clinical Challenges of Traditional TAVI
Advanced pre-procedural planning
High Prevalence
Aortic stenosis affects about 1 in 3 people aged >75 years.
Mortality Risk
Without treatment, 4-year mortality in severe cases reaches 44.9%.
Limitations of Current TAVI
Although it is the standard of care, TAVI still has limitations in planning and outcome prediction.
Clinical Gap
There is a need to improve diagnosis, surveillance and follow-up to increase safety and efficacy.
Simulate before you intervene
Pre-procedural planning with AI and predictive simulation
TAVI-TEC: an interface for interventional cardiologists for pre-procedural planning with AI and predictive simulations to define the implantation strategy of the TAVI device. The TAVI-TEC platform integrates pre-procedural imaging, Artificial Intelligence and predictive simulations in a single clinical environment, to choose the most appropriate implantation strategy. In-silico modelling predicts the positioning of the TAVI device and its evolution after implantation, supporting clinical planning and risk stratification. Designed for interventional cardiologists, it lets them visualise implantation scenarios and uses AI to automate measurements and define the optimal size of the device to implant through deep and machine learning on routine pre-procedural imaging.
