Latest Patents
The supplied information lists one patent for Falk: “Method of Imaging for Heart Valve Implant Procedure.” The method describes positioning a patient and an articulated imaging apparatus, inducing rapid ventricular pacing, and imaging the heart to obtain data for a three-dimensional image. That image can be displayed to guide implantation of a replacement heart valve. Optional steps include capturing a real-time two-dimensional image and superimposing it on the three-dimensional image. The combined imaging information can help guide valve placement during rapid ventricular pacing and breath-hold.
Career Highlights
Falk’s listed patent focuses on integrating imaging into the heart valve implant workflow. The approach combines three-dimensional heart data with optional real-time two-dimensional imaging to provide guidance during the procedure. The supplied information attributes 1 patent to him.
