Summary

Cardiovascular diseases represent the most common cause of death worldwide. Percutaneous approaches with intravascular catheters are pivotal, since they allow to treat patients with high perioperative risks. However, catheter-based treatments require steep learning curves and are characterized by poor ergonomics and exposure to damaging radiation. ARTERY will offer a radiation-free approach based on shared-autonomy robotic catheters, with increased user engagement and easy interaction. Intraprocedural three-dimensional echocardiography as well as computed tomography images obtained during usual clinical practice will provide artificial intelligence algorithms that will turn catheter navigation to a simple task. Optical and electromagnetic sensing techniques will ensure a superior view upon the cardiovascular anatomy and will guide the autonomous catheter upon the interventionist supervision, who will be able to take over control at any instant.
