The development and testing of a smart sensorized guide wire for catheterization in a “blood” vessel phantom to support aortic valve implementation

ConclusionsThe results show that the sensorized guide wire developed for catheterization can support aortic valve implementation. The sensor sensitivity is sufficient to detect even very small variations within the blood vessel and therefore is promising to support catheterization heart valve surgeries in future.
