Feasibility of Robotic-Assisted Neurovascular Interventions: Initial Experience in Flow Model and Porcine Model

This is the first study to demonstrate that use of a robotic-assisted platform is feasible for intracranial neurovascular intervention. The robotic system was successful at navigating and deploying the small-gauge devices specific to neurovascular procedures. Given the potential benefits of robotic-assisted surgery for the patient and the surgeon, further investigation is warranted for this indication.
