Robotic‐Assisted Endovascular Embolization: Progress and Future Perspectives

摘要

ABSTRACT Minimally invasive transcatheter embolization is a widely utilized in interventional radiology to occlude blood vessels for treating a range of diseases and vascular injuries. Various embolic agents, such as metallic coils, microspheres, and liquid‐based agents, are delivered to the target site to effectively block blood flow and achieve vessel occlusion. However, precise and selective deployment of these agents into target lesions remains a challenge due to the limited steerability and maneuverability of current catheter systems. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in embolic agents and delivery devices, with a particular focus on emerging robot‐assisted embolization technologies. It also discusses the key challenges associated with embolic materials and explores future trends shaping the field.
