Increased demand for less invasive procedures has accelerated the adoption of Intraluminal
Procedures (IP) and Endovascular Interventions (EI) performed through body lumens and …

Purpose Endovascular intervention is limited by two-dimensional intraoperative imaging and
prolonged procedure times in the presence of complex anatomies. Robotic catheter …

Emerging robot-assisted endovascular intervention has the potential to reduce X-ray
radiations to the operator while enhancing the stability and dexterity of catheter …

Endovascular techniques have been embraced as a minimally-invasive treatment approach
within different disciplines of interventional radiology and cardiology. The current practice of …

Despite rapid growth of robot assisted catheterization in recent years, most current platforms
are based on master-slave designs with limited operator-robot collaborative control and …

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 …

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

Despite increased use of remote-controlled steerable catheter navigation systems for
endovascular intervention, most current designs are based on master configurations which …

Objective: In-vivo validation on animal setting of a pneumatically propelled robot for
endovascular intervention, to determine safety and clinical advantage of robotic …
