Perceptive catheter system for thrombus retrieval and aneurysm embolization
Summary During catheter-based treatments, surgeons are hampered by the limited sensory awareness of microcatheters as they move through small, fragile, and mobile blood vessels. This lack of perception leads to a success rate of 25% in achieving complete reperfusion in a single attempt. The proposed system provides quantitative feedback on distance...

Biomaterial for Preventing Postoperative Intestinal Adhesions
Intra-abdominal adhesions, also known as postoperative peritoneal adhesions (PPA) remain a challenging issue in the US healthcare system. It is estimated that over 90% of gastrointestinal (GI) surgical procedures result in PPA formation, regardless of the location or surgical technique used. PPAs can also develop in response to tissue damage caused...
