Innovating To Improve Outcomes In Heart Valve Replacement

Belgium-based FEops has extensive experience in advanced cardio- and endovascular device-and-procedure modeling, and collaborate with academic researchers and clinicians worldwide. FEops HEARTguide™ technology uses advanced computational modeling to provide clinicians and valve manufacturers with insights into the interaction between valve and specific patient anatomy. The first solution of its kind, FEops HEARTguide surpasses simple anatomical measurement, generating accurate predictions on how devices will interact with each unique patient. This end-to-end solution adds value at every step in the structural heart device product life cycle, helping manufacturers accelerate time to market and bringing physicians insights that contribute to better patient outcome.

FEops needed advanced computational modeling tools to help their customers improve the design, safety and efficacy of medical devices tailored to individual patients in need of heart-valve replacement. Read how FEops employed Dassault Systèmes SIMULIA’s Abaqus FEA software, along with proprietary tools, to gain detailed insight into the heart-valve replacement devices with specific patient anatomies, pre-operatively.
