A simulation environment for robot-assisted endovascular interventions.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality globally. Advances in interventional radiology and endovascular devices have made endovascular procedures effective alternatives to traditional open surgery, leading to their routine application in clinical practice. Within this framework, novel technologies, including robotic platforms and navigation software, have been developed to assist clinicians in executing endovascular interventions with improved dexterity, enhanced guidance, and superior clinical training, ultimately yielding better patient outcomes.

Methods

This study aims to develop a model-based simulation environment within the SOFA framework, to enable shape and force sensing for endovascular robotic procedures. The vascular catheter was modeled
