Abstract

Endovascular robots have the potential to revolutionize the field of vascular interventions by enhancing procedural efficiency, accuracy, and standardization. They aim to reduce radiation exposure, as well as physical strain on operators and medical staff, while enabling precise navigation of catheters through challenging anatomical structures. However, the widespread adoption of these robots faces barriers, such as real estate constraints, setup time, limited range of compatible tools, and high costs. This paper discusses these barriers and highlights the Hansen Medical's Magellan and the Liberty robotic systems as notable examples. New developments will offer cost-effective, intuitive, and disposable approaches to endovascular procedures. Despite challenges, endovascular robots hold promise for improving access to endovascular therapy and transforming patient care in various healthcare settings.
