Presents corrections to the article “Model-Based Design of the COAST Guidewire Robot for Large Deflection.
Minimally invasive endovascular procedures involve the manual placement of a guidewire, which is made difficult by vascular tortuosity and the lack of precise tip control. Steerable guidewire systems have been developed with tendon-driven, magnetic, and concentric tube actuation strategies to enable
Placement of catheters in minimally invasive cardiovascular procedures is preceded by navigating to the target lesion with a guidewire. Traversing through tortuous vascular pathways can be challenging without precise tip control, potentially resulting in the damage or perforation of blood vessels. T
Peripheral vascular intervention remains a challenging procedure mainly due to the tortuosity of the vessels needing to be traversed by guidewires and catheters. In addition, handling long guidewires while navigating tortuous vasculature requires extensive time and skill from the surgeon. In this wo…
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally and surgical treatments for these often begin with the manual placement of a long compliant wire, called a guidewire, through different vasculature. To improve procedure outcomes and reduce radiation exposure, we propose steps towards a
