contents Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the most common cause of death worldwide. Invasive x-ray coronary angiography (ICA) is one of the most important imaging modalities for the diagnosis of CVDs. ICA typically acquires only two 2D projections, which makes the 3D geometry of coronary vessels difficult to interpret, thus requiring 3D coronary artery tree reconstruction from two projections. State-of-the-art approaches require significant manual interactions and cannot correct the non-rigid cardiac and respiratory motions between non-simultaneous projections. In this study, we propose a novel deep learning pipeline named \emph{DeepCA}. We leverage the Wasserstein conditional generative adversarial network with gradient penalty, latent convolutional transformer layers, and a dynamic snake convolutional critic to implicitly compensate for the non-rigid motion and provide 3D coronary artery tree reconstruction. Through simulating projections from coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), we achieve the generalisation of 3D coronary tree reconstruction on real non-simultaneous ICA projections. We incorporate an application-specific evaluation metric to validate our proposed model on both a CCTA dataset and a real ICA dataset, together with Chamfer $\ell_2$ distance. The results demonstrate promising performance of our DeepCA model in vessel topology preservation, recovery of missing features, and generalisation ability to real ICA data. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that leverages deep learning to achieve 3D coronary tree reconstruction from two real non-simultaneous x-ray angiographic projections.
