Investigating the bending properties of cardiovascular catheters and stents via three-point bending test setup

open access: yesCurrent Directions in Biomedical Engineering
The bending properties of catheters and stents have a big influence on their success during clinical application. Whereas bending stiffness directly affects the trackability of catheters, stents underlie bending when used for renal, superficial femoral ...

Z-Shaped Microcatheter Tip Shaping for Embolization of Aneurysms at the Proximal A1 Segment of the Anterior Cerebral Artery: A Technical Note [PDF]

open access: yesNeurointervention, 2011
Embolization of an aneurysm at the proximal A1 segment of the anterior cerebral artery (ACA) is technically challenging. We treated four consecutive patients with unruptured aneurysms at the proximal portion of the A1 segment of the ACA.

Rapid Fabrication of Self‐Propelled and Steerable Magnetic Microcatheters for Precision Medicine

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A rapid Joule heating fabrication method for the production of self‐propelling, adaptive microcatheters, with tunable stiffness and integrated microfluidic channels is presented. Demonstrated through three microrobotic designs, including a steerable guiding catheter, an untethered wave‐crawling TubeBot, and a distal‐end propelled microcatheter, it was ...
