Abstract
A method, an apparatus, and a device for simulating a travel path of a catheter in a blood vessel. The method comprises: determining a preset path for the catheter to travel in a target artery segment based on extending direction of an artery, wherein the target artery segment refers to an artery segment which is subsequently subjected to catheter path simulation and includes an aneurysm (S); simulating the travel path of the catheter in a lumen of the target artery segment (S); and correcting the travel path based on the preset path to obtain a corrected travel path (S): in this way, the resulting simulated and corrected travel path of the catheter may characterize the actual travel path of the catheter in the artery and may also reflect a substantial shape of the catheter indwelling in the lumen of the artery, wherein the corrected travel path highly agrees with the shape of the artery. Based on the corrected travel path, the travel path of the catheter in the blood vessel and the shape and position of the catheter indwelling in the blood vessel may be determined more accurately, such that the operator may determine more intuitively whether the catheter may be inserted to a specified position in the blood vessel, which enhances convenience. The catheter travels spirally along the arterial wall, ensuring stability of the catheter during a surgery process.
