Abstract [eng] Recent studies have suggested a potential increased carcinogenic risk associated with chronic low dose radiation exposure, prompting calls to further reduce radiation exposure among endovascular interventionists. 1,2 Previous endovascular robotic systems have demonstrated a successful reduction of operator radiation exposure. 3,4 The SENTANTE endovascular robotic system (UAB Inovatyvi Medicina, Kaunas, Lithuania) is a new robotic system, designed to perform endovascular procedures robotically, including the placement of interventional devices (https://sentante.com/). The system’s bedside unit can manipulate three conventional endovascular devices simultaneously, including 2 — 8 F catheter based devices and one 0.014", 0.018", or 0.035" guidewire. The bedside unit is controlled by the operator at the remote workstation, with two conventional catheters and a guidewire as the user interface that provides haptic feedback. The movements with the interface devices made by the physician are replicated by the bedside unit to the devices inside the vessels. The force applied by the bedside unit depends on the force delivered at the workstation. A preclinical cadaveric study was conducted to evaluate the system in performing peripheral endovascular interventions across various anatomic locations. Donors had provided their consent, and the study was performed in accordance with the Anatomy Act (Scotland/UK) (1987) and the Human Tissue Act (Scotland) (2006) [...].
