title: [Preliminary clinical application of vascular interventional robot].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To verify the feasibility and safety of the vascular interventional vascular interventional surgical robot system applied to vascular interventional operation.
  
  
  METHODS
  From March to September 2013, 10 patients had undergone robot-assisted cerebral angiography. There were 6 male and 4 female patients; aged from 19 to 58 years, with an average age of 38.4 years. The operation were carried out by neurosurgeons and vascular interventional robot. After successfully implanted of femoral artery sheath by hand, the catheter was fixed on the robot, under the guidance of navigation image the surgeon manipulate the master part and control the slave part of robot by sending command through network transmission, finally finished the whole cerebral angiography. The operation time was recorded from placing the sheath into femoral artery to finishing cerebrovascular selective angiography, simultaneously the time of staff under exposure of X ray was recorded, and the position difference between the setted targets and the actual position(positioning accuracy).
  
  
  RESULTS
  It took 25-41 minutes to finish the cerebral angiography, the average time was (31 ± 5) minutes, and the robot-assisted angiography went quickly and smoothly without surgical complications. The remote positioning accuracy was (1.03 ± 0.23) mm. The time of staff under exposure of X ray was 0 minute, the entire experimental process was basically implemented mechanization and automation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This system basically achieves initial medical purposes, such as reducing the radiation, facilitating interventional procedures on the basis of enhancing the image navigation, shorting the operation time, and improve the quality of operation.
