Design and Experimental Validation of an Active Catheter for Endovascular Navigation [PDF]
Journal of Medical Devices, American Society of Mechanical
Engineers (ASME), 2018, 12 (1), pp.011003, 2019 Endovascular technique has many advantages but relies strongly on operator skills and experience. Robotically steerable catheters have been developed but few are clinically available. We describe here the development of an active and efficient catheter based on Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) actuators.

Where Did the Midline Catheter Disappear?
Clinical Medicine Insights: Case Reports, 2021 Intravascular catheter break off is a rare complication during insertion or nursing care. We report the intravascular break off of a midline catheter after wound dressing change and its migration into the pulmonary artery.

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.

A double-knotted pulmonary artery catheter with large loop in the right internal jugular vein: A case report [PDF]
Kosin Medical Journal, 2018 Knotting of a pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) is a rare, but well-known complication of pulmonary artery (PA) catheterization. We report a case of a double-knotted PAC with a large loop in a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) undergoing liver ...

Quantifying the Consequences of Catheter Steerability Limitations on Targeted Drug Delivery [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 In this work, we virtually study the intra-arterial targeted drug delivery. Specifically, this work models and quantifies the uncertainties associated with catheter steerability limitations. We classify catheter's limited steerability into two types, i.e., zero steerability, and wall pressing steerability.
