Cardiac diseases are recognized as the leading cause of mortality, hospitalization, and
medical prescription globally. The gold standard for the treatment of coronary artery stenosis …

In minimally invasive endovascular procedures, surgeons rely on catheters with low
dexterity and high aspect ratios to reach an anatomical target. However, the environment …

Endovascular surgery has gained broad acceptance in the last few years. The current
practice of endovascular procedures is limited by factors including patient-specific operation …

A robotic system for automatically navigating ultrasound (US) imaging catheters can provide
real-time intra-cardiac imaging for diagnosis and treatment while reducing the need for …

To reduce the radiation exposure of personnel during an interventional procedure for
arrhythmia, a robot has been developed and implemented herein for use in interventional …

Tendon-driven continuum manipulators are widely used in minimally invasive surgeries, yet
