Bioresorbable Endovascular Neural Interface for Minimally Invasive Neural Stimulation and Recording
Diego Ghezzi, Laura Ferlauto, Adele Fanelli
Recording and stimulation of brain circuits have been widely used to treat neurological disorders, such as epilepsy1 and Parkinson’s disease2. Current available techniques in this field commonly require invasive surgery potentially entailing both transient ...
2018Modélisation mécanique de fils pour la simulation chirurgicale
Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) represents one of the major progresses in surgery in the last decade. In general, it is based on the application of small body-cuts through which instruments are inserted into the patient's body allowing the surgeon to carr ...
EPFL2008A Real-Time Simulator for Interventional Radiology
Hannes Bleuler, Lindo Robert Duratti, Fei Wang, Evren Samur
Interventional radiologists manipulate guidewires and catheters and steer stents through the patient’s vascular system under X-ray imaging for treatment of vascular diseases. The complexity of these procedures makes trainingmandatory in order to master han ...
2008Haptic instrumentation for an interventional radiology simulator
Low trauma, reduced costs and fast recovery are only a few factors why minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is taking over classical surgical methods. Interventional Radiology (IR) is a minimally invasive procedure where thin tubular instruments are steered th ...
EPFL2005Shear stress, vascular remodeling and neointimal formation
The role of shear stress in atherosclerosis has been well documented. However, its role in restenosis was underexposed. In this paper a novel in vivo measuring technique and several of its applications related to restenosis will be described. The technique ...
