OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to develop a 3-dimensional (3D) fusion tool kit to integrate left ventricular (LV) venous anatomy on fluoroscopy venograms with LV epicardial surface on single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) for guiding cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) LV lead placement.
BACKGROUND: LV lead position is important for CRT response. For LV lead placement into viable regions with late activation, it is important to visualize both LV venous anatomy and myocardium.
METHODS: Major LV veins were manually identified on fluoroscopic venograms and automatically reconstructed into a 3D anatomy. 3D LV epicardial surface was extracted from SPECT MPI. SPECT-vein fusion that consisted of geometric alignment, landmark-based registration, and vessel-surface overlay was developed to fuse the 3D venous anatomy with the epicardial surface. The accuracy of this tool was evaluated using computed tomography (CT) venograms. LV epicardial surfaces and veins were manually identified on the CT images and registered with the SPECT image by an independent operator. The locations of the fluoroscopic and CT veins on the SPECT epicardial surfaces were compared using absolute distances on SPECT short-axis slice and the 17-segment model.
RESULTS: Ten CRT patients were enrolled. The distance between the corresponding fluoroscopic and CT veins on the short-axis epicardial surfaces was 4.6 ± 3.6 mm (range 0 to 16.9 mm). The presence of the corresponding fluoroscopic and CT veins in the 17-segment model agreed well with a kappa value of 0.87 (95% confidence interval: 0.82 to 0.93). The tool kit was used to guide LV lead placement in a catheter laboratory and showed clinical feasibility and benefit to the patient.
CONCLUSIONS: A tool kit has been developed to reconstruct 3D LV venous anatomy from dual-view fluoroscopic venograms and to fuse it with LV epicardial surface on SPECT MPI. It is technically accurate for guiding LV lead placement by the 17-segment model and is feasible for clinical use in the catheterization laboratory.
