Survey Research: ​​Catheter-based Treatments

As part of a term project in the graduate-level course Introduction to Biomedical Robotics, I conducted a survey research on the catheter-based treatments for cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases. Through this study, I learned about the state-of-the-art technologies such as microcatheter, transcatheter coiling devices for embolization of cerebral aneurysm, stent graft for abdominal aortic aneurysm, and closure devices for treating congenital heart diseases such as atrial/ventricular septal defects.
