In this review, we will detail the evolution of endovascular therapy as the basis for the development of catheter-based robotics. In parallel, we will outline the evolution of robotics in the surgical space and how the convergence of technology and t...
We present a case demonstrating the use of an endovascular robotic system in the treatment of a saccular renal artery aneurysm located at the renal hilum in a young patient.
BACKGROUND: A single-institutional study comparing early and long-term outcomes of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) and open surgical repair (OSR) was performed to determine the appropriate treatment option for descending thoracic aortic a...

BACKGROUND: Feature selection (FS) process is essential in the medical area as it reduces the effort and time needed for physicians to measure unnecessary features. Choosing useful variables is a difficult task with the presence of censoring which is...
Despite the increasing popularity of endovascular intervention in clinical practice, there remains a lack of objective and quantitative metrics for skill evaluation of endovascular techniques. Data relating to the forces exerted during endovascular p...
PURPOSE: To identify factors influencing outcome in brain arteriovenous malformations (BAVM) treated with endovascular embolization. We also assessed the feasibility of using machine learning techniques to prognosticate and predict outcome and compar...
Retrograde perigraft access to the aneurysmal sac for type 2 endoleak embolization is a relevant alternative to standard transarterial and translumbar approaches. Entering the space between the graft and the iliac artery requires support and pushabil...
