Abstract

In order to inspect and improve the system performance of the neuro-interventional surgical robot and its effectiveness and safety in clinical applications, we conducted ten animal experiments using this robotic system. Cerebral angiography was performed on ten experimental animals, and various mechanical performance indicators, operating time, X-ray radiation dosage to the experimental animals and the experimenter, and arterial damage in the experimental animals were recorded when the robotic system completed cerebral angiography. The results show that the robotic system can successfully complete the cerebral angiography surgery, and the mechanical performance is up to standard. The operating time is almost the same as the physician's operating time. And the mean X-ray radiation dosage received by the experimental animals and experimenter was 0.893 Gy and 0.0859 mSv, respectively. There were no complications associated with damage to the vascular endothelium. The robotic system can basically complete the relevant assessment indicators, and its system performance, effectiveness, and safety in clinical applications meet the standards, basically meeting the requirements of clinical applications of neurointerventional surgery.

Highlights

  • Vascular disease is an important cause of human death, involving all types of arteries in the whole body, but the aorta, coronary artery, carotid artery, and cerebral artery are the main sites, so myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction become the main consequences of this vascular disease

  • There are still bottlenecks that restrict the development of endovascular therapy, such as the difficulty of the operation technique, the risk of surgery caused by the low stability and precision of manual operation, radiation injury, the risk of leucopenia and cell carcinogenesis caused by radiation in the long term [3, 4], the fatigue and chronic injury of interventionalists caused by heavy protective equipment [5, 6], the difficulty in the training of vascular interventionalists, the less primary medical resources, and low level of vascular interventional practice

  • (2) The slave end system is capable of delivering catheters into designated vessels in experimental animals in a precise and timely manner in accordance with physician instructions

Summary

Introduction

Vascular disease is an important cause of human death, involving all types of arteries in the whole body, but the aorta, coronary artery, carotid artery, and cerebral artery are the main sites, so myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction become the main consequences of this vascular disease. Among the various treatment methods, minimally invasive vascular interventional therapy with small trauma, fast recovery, and good healing has played an increasingly important role in the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and gradually becomes the best treatment method. The robotic system can be operated with high precision and stability It can isolate X-ray operation and avoid radiation. It can be used for training by surgeons who have no prior experience in interventional surgery. These systems are expensive and complex, with relatively homogeneous product positioning, and all have their own limitations
