A Robotic Platform for Endovascular Aneurysm Repair
Résumé
An EndoVascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) is
a procedure used to fix an aneurysm of the aorta. In this
procedure, a guide is inserted by the femoral artery. This guide
goes through to the height of the aneurysm and then a catheter
follows the guide. Next, a stent graft is deployed in order to
repair the aortic aneurysm. The objectives of our work is to
develop a low-cost robotic system and implement a program
that helps the trajectory planning during an endovascular
operation. More precisely, this program can predict if the aorta
will break or not depending on the guide used. Such a robotic
platform could serve as a teaching instrument by creating an
environment for young surgeons in which they will be able to
practice their skills to perform an EVAR. This paper describes
the different components of this platform and provides some
experimental results.
