Robotics entered the cardiovascular field in the late 1990s with a robot-assisted coronary artery bypass graft. Since then, the use of robots has become a common part of cardiovascular surgery in several types of interventions. The experience in tran...
A study by MacKay and colleagues addresses a pressing need in cardiac anaesthesia by demonstrating an innovative method to extract structured data from free-text intraoperative transoesophageal echocardiography reports. Narrative descriptions of echo...
BACKGROUND: Consensus-based large language model (LLM) ensembles might provide an automated solution for extracting structured data from unstructured text in echocardiography reports.
OBJECTIVES: This research investigates designing a continuum soft robot and proposing a kinematic matching control to enable the robot to perform a specified medical task, which in this paper is the transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).

BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter represent the most prevalent clinically significant cardiac arrhythmias. While the CHA2DS2-VASc score is commonly used to inform anticoagulation therapy decisions for patients with these conditions, ...
OBJECTIVE: Valvular heart diseases (VHDs) pose a significant public health burden, and deciding the best treatment strategy necessitates accurate assessment of heart valve function. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the key modality to evaluate...
Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) imaging is a vital tool used in the evaluation of complex cardiac pathology and the management of cardiac surgery patients. A key limitation to the application of deep learning strategies to intraoperative and i...
BACKGROUND: Right to left shunt (RLS), including patent foramen ovale, is a recognized risk factor for stroke. RLS/patent foramen ovale diagnosis is made by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), which is insensitive, transesophageal echocardiography,...
