Patients with congenital heart disease may be treated with percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation to treat narrowed or leaky pulmonary valves. However, commercial options are not always available for children or special subjects. Over the years, the handmade pulmonary valved conduit has provided a strategy to customize the size to the specifications of the patient. In the present study, the researchers aimed at improving the design by generating a meta-learning-based intelligent model to train the physician to determine optimal parameters for customized valve reconstruction. This model can overcome problems arising from empirical parameter determination. The customized handmade pulmonary valved conduit produced thanks to the model were validated in vitro by assessing the regurgitation fraction and the heart pump efficiency using a circulation loop system.
