Overcoming Barriers and Advancements in Endovascular Robotics: A Review of Systems and Developments

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.
