Hadi Sadati on Reinventing Catheters by Soft Robotics: Robotics Thrombectomy for Acute Stroke | AIR

Abstract: Recent evidence shows that if mechanical devices are used to unblock the brain artery within 6 hours of onset of a blockage in the case of acute stroke, there is a large patient benefit. The ability to perform this procedure within the time window is disproportionately dependent on geographical location due to few experts and equipped operation facilities. Available vascular robots (e.g. Siemens CorPath GRX, Hansen Medical Sensei, Niobe Magnetic Navigation System) rely on trained experts and equipped operating rooms, and have minimal autonomous functionality. In a short Fellowship, we have explored novel ideas following the identified shortcomings in catheter interventions for incision, navigation, and clot capture in acute stroke. Bio-inspired growing cannulas for reduced incision complexities, novel steerable soft catheters based on Concentric Tube Robotic concept for safe navigation, an adaptive and robust dynamical system framework for navigation and clot capture automation, and sensorizing the off-the-shelf guidewires were proposed. Ultimately, we are working toward evaluating the developed system on a robotic vascular system phantom and a fully equipped mock operating theatre that is under development at KCL.
