The present report describes a technique for mitigating respiration-related microcatheter motion during endovascular aneurysm treatment by modulating ventilator settings. A rare phenomenon of microcatheter tip movement related to respiration is demonstrated. An adjustment of tidal volume and respiratory rate reduced the degree of inspiratory vessel elongation and stabilized the microcatheter position, allowing for safer, more precise coil deployment. This maneuver can easily be applied to other endovascular procedures for which aberrant microcatheter motion must be minimized.

Purpose: 360-degree gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) is a safe and effective angle-based intervention to lower IOP. Use of the iTrack Advance allows the surgeon to efficiently advance the microcatheter in one continuous motion with a slider, an improvement upon previous techniques in which microcatheters or sutures which had to be manually threaded through Schlemm's canal with microforceps. This report demonstrates three variations in surgical technique for successful 360-degree GATT using the iTrack Advance.

In this study, we sought to evaluate changes in peritumoral fibrosis after transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in a rabbit VX2 liver tumor model using intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging (IVIM DWI) and ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE). A total of 20 rabbits underwent implantation of VX2 tumor tissues in the left lobe of the liver. The rabbits were randomly divided into an experimental group ( = 10) or a control group ( = 10).

Catheters integrated with microcoils for electromagnetic steering under the high, uniform magnetic field within magnetic resonance (MR) scanners (3-7 Tesla) have enabled an alternative approach for active catheter operations. Achieving larger ranges of tip motion for Lorentz force-based steering have previously been dependent on using high power coupled with active cooling, bulkier catheter designs, or introducing additional microcoil sets along the catheter. This work proposes an alternative approach using a heat-mitigated design and actuation strategy for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-driven microcatheter.

Purpose: During hepatic arterial interventions, catheter or guidewire position is determined by referencing or overlaying a previously acquired static vessel roadmap. Respiratory motion leads to significant discrepancies between the true position and configuration of the hepatic arteries and the roadmap, which makes navigation and accurate catheter placement more challenging and time consuming. The purpose of this work was to develop a dynamic respiratory motion compensated device guidance system and evaluate the accuracy and real-time performance in an in vivo porcine liver model.
