BACKGROUND: This study aims to enhance the explainability and predictive accuracy of the Random Survival Forest (RSF) algorithm in predicting stent patency risk for patients with malignant colonic obstruction.
Endoluminal stent implantation is a common intervention strategy for treating obstructive lesions, but conventional delivery systems struggle to reach deep, tortuous ducts. To overcome this limitation, we present a magnetically controlled microrobot ...
OBJECTIVES: During emergency surgery, patients with acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) experience unfavourable outcomes throughout their hospital stay. The combination of total aortic arch replacement (TAR) and frozen elephant trunk (FET) implant...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To review the literature within the past 5 years on risk factors and prophylactic measures for avoiding the complications of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), including post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP), post-ERCP c...

BACKGROUND: Neurointerventionalists must pay close attention to multiple devices on multiple screens simultaneously, which can lead to oversights and complications. Artificial intelligence (AI) has potential application in recognizing and monitoring ...
Recalcitrant biofilm infections pose a great challenge to human health. Micro- and nanorobots have been used to eliminate biofilm infections in hard-to-reach regions inside the body. However, applying antibiofilm robots under physiological conditions...

BACKGROUND: Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is essential for assessing complex coronary lesions, but remains underutilized in part due to difficulties in image interpretation. The AVVIGO IVUS Automated Lesion Assessment (ALA) software, which uses mac...
BACKGROUND: Ureteral stents, such as double-J stents, have become indispensable in urologic procedures but are associated with complications like hematuria and pain. While the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has led to its incr...
