Abstract
A controller for displaying a puncture site of an intra-atrial septum for heart repairs includes a memory and a processor (). The processor () executes instructions () to perform a process based on image data of a heart that includes a mitral valve and an intra-atrial septum. The process includes defining a mitral valve annulus plane along a mitral valve annulus of the mitral valve and a normal vector perpendicular to the mitral valve annulus plane. The process also includes defining an offset plane that intersects with the intra-atrial septum and that is parallel to the mitral valve annulus plane. A safe zone for the puncture site is identified and displayed on the intra-atrial septum. The safe zone is between a lower boundary plane () and an upper boundary plane () that are each parallel to the offset plane by specified distances.
