Magnetic actuation techniques and microrobots have attracted considerable interest due to
their potential applications in biomedicine. Interventional techniques have emerged as a …

Objective: This review aims to provide a structured classification of the underlying steering
mechanisms in steerable catheters and to assess their future challenges. Methods: Existing …

Catheters used for endovascular navigation in interventional procedures lack dexterity at the
distal tip. Neurointerventionists, in particular, encounter challenges in up to 25% of …

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 …

Interventional radiology and cardiology are rapidly growing areas of minimally invasive
surgery, covering multiple diagnostic and interventional procedures. Treatment via …

Objective: For the revascularization in small vessels such as coronary arteries, we present a
guide-wired helical microrobot mimicking the corkscrew motion for mechanical atherectomy …

This article proposes a flexible surgical robot featuring strong magnetic steering achieved by
a hemispherical magnet array actuation, and high‐accuracy ultrasonic position sensing …

The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy and safety of remote magnetic navigation
(RMN) with open-irrigated catheter vs. manual catheter navigation (MCN) in performing …

Manual radio frequency (RF) ablation to restore a normal cardiac rhythm requires significant
skill, manual dexterity and experience. In response to this, ablation methods and …
