A Variable Stiffness Magnetic Catheter Made of a Conductive Phase-Change Polymer for Minimally Invasive Surgery
Dario Floreano, Yegor Piskarev, Jun Shintake
Variable stiffness (VS) is an important feature that significantly enhances the dexterity of magnetic catheters used in minimally invasive surgeries. Existing magnetic catheters with VS consist of sensors, heaters, and tubular structures filled with low me ...
2022Optical Characterization of an Intra-Arterial Light and Drug Delivery System for Photodynamic Therapy of Atherosclerotic Plaque
Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Matthieu Philippe Emmanuel Zellweger, Andreas Pitzschke, Manish Jain, Ying Xiao
Although the versatility of photodynamic therapy (PDT) is well established, the technical aspects of light delivery systems vary significantly depending on the targeted organ. This article describes the optical properties of a light and drug delivery syste ...
2020A Variable Stiffness Catheter Controlled with an External Magnetic Field
Dario Floreano, Alice Tonazzini
Remote magnetic navigation of catheters is a technique used to perform radiofrequency ablation of heart tissue in order to treat cardiac arrhythmias. The flexible magnetic catheters used in this context are in some cases not sufficiently dexterous to navig ...
IEEE2017Thin films for Healthcare Acquired Infections (HAIs) prevention
This thesis addresses the preparation of antibacterial surfaces for hospital facilities taking biomedical thin polymer films, textiles and catheter as probes. Magnetron sputtering is used to apply the coatings leading to fast bacterial inactivation in the ...
EPFL2016In Vitro and In Vivo Effectiveness of an Innovative Silver-Copper Nanoparticle Coating of Catheters To Prevent Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Infection
César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Sami Rtimi, Myriam Koumba Sarah Ballo
In this study, silver/copper (Ag/Cu)-coated catheters were investigated for their efficacy in preventing methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection in vitro and in vivo. Ag and Cu were sputtered (67/33% atomic ratio) on polyurethane cathe ...
American Society for Microbiology2016A Feasability Study of Color Flow Doppler Vectorization for Automated Blood Flow Monitoring
Daniel Sage, Anaïs Laure Marie-Thérèse Badoual
An ongoing issue in vascular medicine is the measure of the blood flow. Catheterization remains the gold standard measurement method, although non-invasive techniques are an area of intense research. We hereby present a computational method for real-time m ...
2016Varicocele percutaneous embolization outcomes in a pediatric group: 7-year retrospective study
Percutaneous embolization and surgical repair are the current treatment options for varicocele, but determining method superiority remains controversial. In this retrospective study, we evaluate the technical success, complication and recurrence rates foll ...
Springer Verlag2016Ultrafast laser ablation for targeted atherosclerotic plaque removal
Demetri Psaltis, Donald Benjaman Conkey, Thomas Jean Victor Marie Lanvin, Laurent Descloux
Coronary artery disease, the main cause of heart disease, develops as immune cells and lipids accumulate into plaques within the coronary arterial wall. As a plaque grows, the tissue layer (fibrous cap) separating it from the blood flow becomes thinner and ...
Spie-Int Soc Optical Engineering2015Prevention of Caval Collapse During Venous Drainage for CPB
A new plastic self-expanding Smartcanula (Smartcanula LLC, Lausanne, Switzerland) is designed for central insertion and prevention of caval collapse. The objective of our work is to assess the influence of the new design on atrial chatter. Caval collapse o ...
Lippincott Williams & Wilkins2013Characterizing the impact of minor cannula design modification
Julien Favre, Ludwig Von Segesser
Objective: Bench evaluation of the hydrodynamic behavior of venous cannulas is a valuable technique for the analysis of their performance during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the internal diameter of t ...
