Abstract
This paper proposes a method for performing predictive simulation of complex cardiac surgery. It computes complex surgical results given a small amount of user inputs. In this way, the surgeon can easily explore various surgical options without having to go through all the detailed steps of the surgical procedure. Test results, using aorta reconstruction as an application example, show that the proposed method can generate realistic simulation results given different kinds of user inputs, thus demonstrating the feasibility of the approach.
