Abstract
This paper introduces a deep-learning framework augmented with human guidance for evaluating the risk associated with Transvenous Lead Extraction (TLE). TLE is one type of minimally invasive cardiac procedures, and it is to remove old pacing wires inside the heart. The deep-learning framework automatically extracts geometric features from a single plain chest X-ray image obtained before the procedure. It then utilizes these features in conjunction with clinical data to predict the procedural risk. All geometric features were recommended by a senior clinician and include the positions of coils, the number of leads inside the superior vena cava and the angle of leads. The proposed framework was trained and tested using a database comprising records from 1,053 patients who underwent TLE procedures. Notably, the framework was successfully trained despite the highly imbalanced nature of the data. An accuracy of 0.91 was achieved and the framework can predict 88% of major complication cases. By combining geometric features with clinical data, we were able to deliver a significantly better accuracy and a higher recall rate for detecting high-risks patients, when compared with existing approaches. The methodology described in this paper can be applied to the risk assessment for other cardiac procedures.
