Abstract: A 1.6-m-long, 0.9-mm-diameter microhydraulically hand steerable catheter has been devised for endovascular neurointervention. Catheters used for endovascular navigation in interventional procedures lack dexterity at the distal tip. Neurointerventionists, in particular, encounter challenges in up to… read more here.
