Abstract
Endovascular robots have the potential to revolutionize the field of vascular interventions by enhancing procedural efficiency, accuracy, and standardization. They aim to reduce radiation exposure, as well as physical strain on operators and medical staff, while enabling precise navigation of catheters through challenging anatomical structures. However, the widespread adoption of these robots faces barriers, such as real estate constraints, setup time, limited range of compatible tools, and high costs. This paper discusses these barriers and highlights Hansen Medical's Magellan and the Liberty robotic systems as notable examples. New developments will offer cost-effective, intuitive, and disposable approaches to endovascular procedures. Despite challenges, endovascular robots hold promise for improving access to endovascular therapy and transforming patient care in various healthcare settings.
期刊介绍：
Interventional radiology is an area of clinical diagnosis and management that is highly technique-oriented. Therefore, the format of this quarterly journal, which combines the visual impact of an atlas with the currency of a journal, lends itself perfectly to presenting the topics. Each issue is guest edited by a leader in the field and is focused on a single clinical technique or problem. The presentation is enhanced by superb illustrations and descriptive narrative outlining the steps of a particular procedure. Interventional radiologists, neuroradiologists, vascular surgeons and neurosurgeons will find this a useful addition to the clinical literature.
