Interventional therapy is one of the most effective methods for diagnosing and treating vascular-related diseases at present. It relies on achieving precise and safe navigation of intravascular tools within a patient’s vasculature. Vascular Intervent...
Prior methods of patient care have changed in recent years due to the availability of minimally invasive surgical platforms for endovascular interventions. These platforms have demonstrated the ability to improve patients’ vascular intervention...
Magnetic robots actuated by magnetic navigation systems (MNSs) have been studied extensively in medical robotics. MNSs composed of multiple electromagnets (EMs) generate external magnetic fields required to apply torque and force to magnetic robots....
A teleoperated robotic catheter operating system is a solution to avoid occupational hazards caused by repeated exposure radiation of the surgeon to X-ray during the endovascular procedures. However, inadequate force feedback and collision detection...
We propose a method to reconstruct a 3D coordinate system and a vascular map for the operation of magnetic medical robots (MMRs) controlled by a magnetic navigation system (MNS) using two 2D X-ray images and four corners of an MNS. Utilizing the prop...
Vascular surgery has evolved from durable yet invasive open reconstructions to less traumatic endovascular techniques. While endovascular repair reduces perioperative morbidity, it introduces durability challenges and the need for lifelong surveillan...
Vascular interventional robots have attracted growing attention in recent years. However, current vascular interventional robot systems generally lack force feedback and cannot quickly clamp the catheter/guidewire. The structure of slave systems is u...
Endovascular therapy has emerged as a crucial therapeutic method for treating vascular diseases. Endovascular surgical robots have been used to enhance endovascular therapy. However, to date, there are no universal endovascular surgical robots that s...
During conventional catheter endovascular procedures, surgeons needs to adjust the catheter intervention moving direction and velocity according to the direct sensation. Moreover, in the conventional method, both the surgeon and the patient are inevi...
Robotic catheter systems with master–slave designs are employed for teleoperated navigation of flexible endovascular tools for treating calcified lesions. Despite improved tool manipulation techniques, patient safety and lowering operative risk...
In this paper, we propose a method of identifying the position of a tethered delivery catheter in a vascular environment, recombining an untethered magnetic robot (UMR) to the tethered delivery catheter, and safely retrieving them from the vascular e...
Background/Objectives: Posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) aneurysms are one of the most difficult cerebrovascular lesions to treat and account for 0.5–3% of all intracranial aneurysms. They have deep anatomical locations, broad-neck co...
Background & Objectives: Endovascular embolization has matured into a sophisticated, precision-guided discipline that is central to the management of complex neurovascular pathologies. This review synthesizes contemporary treatment strategies, ev...
