Real-Time Remote Telerobotic Magnetic Navigation for Endovascular Simulated Stroke Thrombectomy Across 5700 Miles
To our knowledge, we present the first intercontinental aspiration thrombectomy in the preclinical setting in comparable time to the clinical practice and demonstrate the early potential of telerobotic navigation. A lack of haptic feedback did not pose a hindrance, and the potential for intuitive operation offers to drive future research and adoption of this telesurgery system.
