Minimally invasive medical procedures, such as endovascular catheterization, have
considerably reduced procedure time and associated complications. However, many …

Background Three-dimensional (3D) printing has revolutionized training, education, and
device testing. Understanding the design and physical properties of 3D-printed models is …

Mechanical thrombectomy to treat large vessel occlusions (LVO) causing a stroke is one of
the most effective treatments in medicine, with a number needed to treat to improve clinical …

Sensors with a small footprint and real-time detection capabilities are crucial in robotic
surgery and smart wearable equipment. Reducing device footprint while maintaining its high …

Background Three-dimensional printing (3DP) offers a unique opportunity to build flexible
vascular patient-specific coronary models for device testing, treatment planning, and …

Background and purpose: Mechanical thrombectomy using an aspiration catheter (AC) is
widely performed in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion. AC …

An alternative intracranial aneurysm embolic agent is emerging in the form of hydrogels due
to their ability to be injected in liquid phase and solidify in situ. Hydrogels have the ability to …

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this proof-of-concept study was to demonstrate the setup and
feasibility of transcarotid access for remote robotic neurointerventions in a cadaveric model …

Background In mechanical thrombectomy (MT), distal access catheters (DACs) are tracked
through the vascular anatomy to reach the occlusion site. The inability of DACs to reach the …

This chapter provides a textbook approach to medical 3D printing applied to neurological
and neurovascular interventions. Patient-specific simulations for aneurysm repair have been …
