Model-Based Pose Estimation of Steerable Catheters under Bi-Plane Image Feedback [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Small catheters undergo significant torsional deflections during endovascular interventions. A key challenge in enabling robot control of these catheters is the estimation of their bending planes. This paper considers approaches for estimating these bending planes based on bi-plane image feedback.

Engineering out the risk for infection with urinary catheters.
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2001 Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is the most common nosocomial infection. Each year, more than 1 million patients in U.S. acute-care hospitals and extended-care facilities acquire such an infection; the risk with short-term ...

Neural Network Reconstruction of the Left Atrium using Sparse Catheter Paths [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Catheter based radiofrequency ablation for pulmonary vein isolation has become the first line of treatment for atrial fibrillation in recent years. This requires a rather accurate map of the left atrial sub-endocardial surface including the ostia of the pulmonary veins, which requires dense sampling of the surface and takes more than 10 minutes.

MR-conditional Robotic Actuation of Concentric Tendon-Driven Cardiac Catheters [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Atrial fibrillation (AF) and ventricular tachycardia (VT) are two of the sustained arrhythmias that significantly affect the quality of life of patients. Treatment of AF and VT often requires radiofrequency ablation of heart tissues using an ablation catheter.

Chest Tube Drainage of the Pleural Space: A Concise Review for Pulmonologists
Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases, 2018 Chest tube insertion is a common procedure usually done for the purpose of draining accumulated air or fluid in the pleural cavity. Small-bore chest tubes (≤14F) are generally recommended as the first-line therapy for spontaneous pneumothorax in non ...
