Development of an MRI-guided robotic catheter system to improve Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion procedures for atrial fibrillation patients, enhancing safety and workflow.
Description
This project aims to develop a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)-guided robotic catheter system for Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion (LAAO) procedures. The goal is to improve the safety, cost, and workflow of LAAO, transforming it into a first-line therapy for atrial fibrillation patients at risk of stroke. The system will integrate real-time MRI, robotic control, and advanced visualization technologies.
