Locomotion of Sensor‐Integrated Soft Robotic Devices Inside Sub‐Millimeter Arteries with Impaired Flow Conditions

Lucio Feo Pancaldi-Giubbini, Lorenzo Francesco John Noseda, Diego Ghezzi, Mahmut Selman Sakar, Adele Fanelli, Amit Yedidia Dolev

One of the grand challenges in interventional cardiology and neuroradiology is to minimize the operation time and risk of damage during catheterization. These two factors drastically increase if the target location resides in small and tortuous vessels. Fl ...

Sensor-integrated ultraflexible endovascular devices

Lucio Feo Pancaldi-Giubbini

Medical interventions in the central nervous system (CNS) are challenging due to the complexity and delicacy of the brain tissue. Techniques that do not require opening the skull would alleviate patient discomfort and increase post-operative outputs. Vesse ...

Ultraflexible flow directed device and system

Lucio Feo Pancaldi-Giubbini, Pietro Luciano Jakobus Dirix, Mahmut Selman Sakar

A flow directed device adapted to be guided by a fuid, such as blood, flow within a tubular structure such as a blood vessel is disclosed, said device comprising a proximal end (100), a distal end (101) and an elongated body (102) in between defining a lon ...

Pulsatile Flow-Induced Fatigue-Resistant Photopolymerizable Hydrogels for the Treatment of Intracranial Aneurysms

Dominique Pioletti, Andreas Schmocker, Lucio Feo Pancaldi-Giubbini, Christophe Moser, Mahmut Selman Sakar, Oriane Poupart

An alternative intracranial aneurysm embolic agent is emerging in the form of hydrogels due to their ability to be injected in liquid phase and solidify in situ. Hydrogels have the ability to fill an aneurysm sac more completely compared to solid implants ...

Flow driven robotic navigation of microengineered endovascular probes

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Lucio Feo Pancaldi-Giubbini, Pietro Luciano Jakobus Dirix, Diego Ghezzi, Mahmut Selman Sakar, Augusto Martins Lima, Adele Fanelli

Minimally invasive medical procedures, such as endovascular catheterization, have considerably reduced procedure time and associated complications. However, many regions inside the body, such as in the brain vasculature, still remain inaccessible due to th ...
