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

Advanced 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 ...

Remote magnetic catheter navigation: more than just bells and whistles ? [PDF]

Netherlands Heart Journal, 2013
Catheter ablation is nowadays an established treatment modality for both atrial and ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Manual navigation of the ablation catheter can be challenging in patients with a complex cardiac anatomy due to, for example, (surgically corrected or palliated) congenital heart defects, resulting in a long procedure time and excessive X ...

Remote‐Controllable Immune‐Priming Spot Formation Via Nanocomplexed Hydrogel‐Assisted Histotripsy: Immunoasis

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A novel immunotherapeutic strategy combines injectable, adjuvant‐loaded hydrogels with externally controlled histotripsy to create immune‐priming sites within tumors. This approach generates millimeter‐sized immune‐activated lesions with flexible, patient‐tailored treatment scheduling, enabling precise immune activation through tumor ablation‐mediated ...
