Robotic Systems Design in Endovascular Treatment

摘要

Minimally invasive endovascular interventional surgery has become the primary surgical method for treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Robotic technology has been proposed as a means to enhance surgical procedures and improve physician experience. Despite the development of related technologies and the proposal of many robotic endovascular intervention systems and commercially available products in recent decades, widespread adoption in routine practice has been obstructed. To mature commercial robotic endovascular intervention systems, improvements in structure design, haptic feedback, autonomy, and other areas are crucial. Autonomous navigation and untethered microrobots have the potential to revolutionize the future of robotic endovascular intervention system innovation. This review highlights the challenges in the design of robotic systems for endovascular treatment, offers perspectives for future robotic system design, and encourages collaboration between engineers and physicians to expedite the use of these systems in clinical practice and explore new possibilities.
