Background: Fully equipped high-end digital subtraction angiography (DSA) within the operating room (OR) environment has emerged as a new trend in the fields of neurosurgery and vascular surgery.

Objective: To describe initial clinical experience with a robotic DSA system in the hybrid OR.

Methods: A newly designed robotic DSA system (Artis zeego; Siemens AG, Forchheim, Germany) was installed in the hybrid OR. The system consists of a multiaxis robotic C arm and surgical OR table. In addition to conventional neuroendovascular procedures, the system was used as an intraoperative imaging tool for various neurosurgical procedures such as aneurysm clipping and spine instrumentation.

Results: Five hundred one neurosurgical procedures were successfully conducted in the hybrid OR with the robotic DSA. During surgical procedures such as aneurysm clipping and arteriovenous fistula treatment, intraoperative 2-/3-dimensional angiography and C-arm-based computed tomographic images (DynaCT) were easily performed without moving the OR table. Newly developed virtual navigation software (syngo iGuide; Siemens AG) can be used in frameless navigation and in access to deep-seated intracranial lesions or needle placement.

Conclusion: This newly developed robotic DSA system provides safe and precise treatment in the fields of endovascular treatment and neurosurgery.

Water-Stable Magnetic Lipiodol Micro-Droplets as a Miniaturized Robotic Tool for Drug Delivery.

Adv Mater

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Vaccines for Infectious Diseases, Center for Molecular Imaging and Translational Medicine, Xiang An Biomedicine Laboratory, School of Public Health, Xiamen University, Xiamen, 361005, China.

Magnetic microrobots, designed to navigate the complex environments of the human body, show promise for minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment. However, their clinical adoption faces hurdles such as biocompatibility, precise control, and intelligent tracking. Here a novel formulation (referred to water-stable magnetic lipiodol micro-droplets, MLMD), integrating clinically approved lipiodol, gelatin, and superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) with a fundamental understanding of the structure-property relationships is presented.

DSA-Former: A Network of Hybrid Variable Structures for Liver and Liver Tumour Segmentation.

Int J Med Robot

December 2024

School of Computer Science and Technology, Jilin University, Changchun, China.

Background: Accurately annotated CT images of liver tumours can effectively assist doctors in diagnosing and treating liver cancer. However, due to the relatively low density of the liver, its tumours, and surrounding tissues, as well as the existence of multi-scale problems, accurate automatic segmentation still faces challenges.

Methods: We propose a segmentation network DSA-Former that combines convolutional kernels and attention.

Urology & Nephrology Center, Department of Urology, Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital, Affiliated People's Hospital, Hangzhou Medical College, No. 158, Shangtang Road, Gongshu District, Hangzhou, 310014, Zhejiang, China.

With the continuous development of robot-assisted technology, Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy (RALPN) has gradually become an optional method for the treatment of Hemorrhage secondary to angiomyolipoma (HSA). However, there are rare clinical reports of the primary RALPN for HSA. Therefore, this research aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of primary RALPN for HSA.

Background: Conventional vascular interventions and hybrid surgery relied on digital subtraction angiography (DSA). Previously our center explored hybrid partial nephrectomy with DSA guidance, which demonstrates the superiority of omitting the dissection of renal hilum. However, this approach is limited to scarce hybrid operating rooms, involves radiation exposure, and poses compatibility issues with robotic surgery platforms.

Article Synopsis
  • Stent-assisted coiling for intracranial aneurysms has drawbacks like implant stenosis and dependence on antiplatelet drugs.
  • A novel approach using magnetite-thrombin nanorobots is introduced, which targets aneurysms directly without the need for stent grafts or complex catheter designs.
  • The therapy's effectiveness and safety are validated through various imaging techniques and biocompatibility tests, offering a promising alternative for treating intracranial aneurysms.
