Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. A new study demonstrates that a multimodal large language model (LLM) can accurately support preoperative planning for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). By integrating CT imaging and clinical data, the system automatically generates structured surgical plans, including valve selection, access strategy, and risk alerts. Tested across 950 patients, the model showed high agreement with expert heart teams while reducing planning time by over 90%. The findings highlight the potential of LLM-driven tools to improve efficiency and decision-making in complex cardiac procedures. (more…)
