Paper
A Paradigm Shift in Catheter Development: Thermally Drawn Polymeric Fibers for MR-Guided Cardiovascular Interventions
2024
Overview
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and congenital heart diseases (CHD) pose significant global health challenges. Fluoroscopy-guided endovascular interventions, though effective, are accompanied by ionizing radiation concerns, especially in pediatric cases. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) emerges as a radiation-free alternative, offering superior soft tissue visualization and functional insights. However, the lack of compatible instruments remains a hurdle. We present two novel catheter systems, a tendon-driven steerable catheter and an active tracking Tiger-shaped catheter, fabricated using a unique fiber drawing technique. These catheters, showcasing mechanical properties similar to commercial counterparts, have undergone rigorous in-vitro and in-vivo testing, yielding promising outcomes. This innovative approach has the potential to streamline medical device development, thus enhancing patient care in MR-guided interventions.
