Shape Optimization of a Self-deployable Anchor Designed for Percutaneous Mitral Valve Repair
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A new percutaneous annuloplasty technique for mitral regurgitation is proposed here. In this technique, inter-related anchors are first inserted around the annulus via a trans-septal catheter. The tethered wire passed through the anchors is then pulled to shrink the annulus and stop regurgitation. The anchors should withstand large deformation, applied during the delivery process, and should recover their original shape after being released inside the tissue. The shape of the anchors is, thus, optimized in an iterative process, to avoid stress concentration by minimizing the weighted rms value of the curvature along the anchor. The weight coefficients in each iteration are defined based on the stress distribution of the anchor obtained in the previous iteration. The procedure finally results in a structurally optimum anchor with a minimum in the maximum von Mises stress. This anchor is fabricated from Nitinol and tested in a cadaveric swine heart.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
