In this review, we examine the current state of this technology, which consists of multiple concentric catheters that are manually navigated from the lumen of peripheral arterial access within the patient's arm or leg up into the brain using fluoroscopic image guidance. There is tremendous potential for the fields of robotics, materials science, and computer science to redefine the current techniques and ul… Show more
