New-look robot will treat stroke, aneurysm | Leg amputation leads to lawsuit | TAVR & carotid artery stenosis

Siemens Healthineers and Styker are collaborating on a brand new robotic system that can perform a variety of neurovascular procedures.

The patient alleges she experienced significant delays in care after being rushed to the hospital for acute limb ischemia. She also says no vascular surgeons were available, limiting her treatment options.

"The key question isn't just whether a device works, but whether it makes procedures more efficient and provides physicians with a more predictable tool for treating patients with complex arterial disease," explained co-principal investigator Venita Chandra, MD, clinical professor of surgery at Stanford Health Care.

The new Liberty System allows users to remotely deliver and manipulate guidewires and catheters during peripheral endovascular procedures.

Screening TAVR patients for CAS may provide significant value, according to a new meta-analysis of 15 different studies.

It's another big victory for Abbott's bioresorbable stent for BTK PAD.
