Access via the internal jugular vein [PDF]
Central venous access via the internal jugular vein (IJV) is safe, relatively easy and very commonly used in infants and children undergoing cardiac surgery for congenital heart disease. Because of the wide range of anatomical variations an ultrasound-

Fast and robust parameter estimation with uncertainty quantification for the cardiac function [PDF]
Parameter estimation and uncertainty quantification are crucial in computational cardiology, as they enable the construction of digital twins that faithfully replicate the behavior of physical patients. Robust and efficient mathematical methods must be designed to fit many model parameters starting from a few, possibly non-invasive, noisy observations.

Multiperspective Conformance Analysis of Central Venous Catheter Installation Procedure [PDF]
Training and practice play a key role in a medical students' attainment of surgical procedural skills. It is beyond doubt that good skills correlate with better clinical outcomes and improved healthcare. Timely, holistic, and effective feedback provide a significant impetus to students acquiring skills with precision.

Exploration of Surgeons' Natural Skills for Robotic Catheterization [PDF]
Despite having the robotic catheter systems which have recently emerged as safe way of performing cardiovascular interventions, a number of important challenges are yet to be investigated. One of them is exploration of surgeons' natural skills during vascular catheterization with robotic systems.

Automated Detection and Type Classification of Central Venous Catheters in Chest X-Rays [PDF]
Central venous catheters (CVCs) are commonly used in critical care settings for monitoring body functions and administering medications. They are often described in radiology reports by referring to their presence, identity and placement. In this paper, we address the problem of automatic detection of their presence and identity through automated ...

Deep Metric Learning for the Hemodynamics Inference with Electrocardiogram Signals [PDF]
Heart failure is a debilitating condition that affects millions of people worldwide and has a significant impact on their quality of life and mortality rates. An objective assessment of cardiac pressures remains an important method for the diagnosis and treatment prognostication for patients with heart failure.
