Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a common and debilitating condition characterized by the
narrowing of the limb arteries, primarily due to atherosclerosis. Non-invasive multi-modality …

The demand for real-time feedback and miniaturization of sensing elements is a crucial
issue in the treating vascular diseases with minimally invasive interventions. Here, Fabry …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has advanced significantly in the past decade and
provides a safe and non-invasive method of evaluating peripheral artery disease (PAD), with …

We propose an untethered flexible-legged magnetic robot (FLMR) manipulated by an
external rotating magnetic field (ERMF) to generate effective locomotion and precise …

We propose a novel magnetic helical robot (HR) that can helically navigate, release a drug
to a target area, and generate a mechanical drilling motion to unclog tubular structures of the …

Accurate device navigation and control are significant challenges in various minimally
invasive cardiovascular interventions. The long length of the devices used (eg, catheters …

With the growing prevalence and mortality of peripheral arterial disease, preoperative
assessment, risk stratification, and determining the correct indication for endovascular and …

Objective Limitations with current peripheral arterial imaging modalities make selection of
patients for percutaneous vascular interventions difficult. The purpose of this study was to …

Conventional catheter-based interventions for treating peripheral artery disease suffer high
failure and complication rates. The mechanical interactions with the anatomy constrain …

Purpose To investigate the feasibility of a deep learning algorithm combining variational
autoencoder (VAE) and two-dimensional (2D) convolutional neural networks (CNN) for …
