Intra-operative local 3D vessel representations have the potential to significantly decrease
the use of contrast agents and exposure to ionizing radiation during endovascular …

Endovascular procedures are characterised by significant challenges mainly due to the
complexity in catheter control and navigation. Real-time recovery of the 3-D structure of the …

During intravascular interventional surgery, the 3D surgical navigation system can provide
doctors with 3D spatial information of the vascular lumen, reducing the impact of missing …

In minimally invasive endovascular interventional surgery, guidewire navigation is an
indispensable process. However, even experienced physicians often encounter difficulties …

In current practice, fluoroscopy remains the gold standard for guiding surgeons during
endovascular catheterization. The poor visibility of anatomical structures and the absence of …

In endovascular interventions, vessels serve as access routes to deep and remote anatomic
regions [1]. Navigation through narrow, fragile, and deformable vessels in endovascular …

Objective One limitation of the use of robotic catheters is the lack of real-time three-
dimensional (3D) localization and position updating: they are still navigated based on two …

Remote-controlled interventional robots are widely studied in recent years to reduce the
radiation exposure of operators in catheter-based vessel intervention surgery (VIS) …

The improvements to catheter manipulation by the use of robot-assisted catheter navigation
for endovascular procedures include increased precision, stability of motion and operator …

Objective: Two-dimensional fluoroscopy is the standard guidance imaging method for
closed endovascular intervention. However, two-dimensional fluoroscopy lacks depth …
