Abstract
A cardiac catheterization may be a routine procedure, but it is still associated with a degree of risk. Engineers have now developed an assistance system that allows the guide wire to be navigated more easily and accurately thanks to a miniaturised force sensor and that provides haptic feedback to the cardiologist.
