AI Technical Summary
Establishing percutaneous vascular access in current medical procedures presents challenges, such as vascular access complications and difficulties in achieving precise puncture at specific tissue sites, especially in interventional cardiac procedures, such as transseptal puncture, which often requires multiple device changes and complex navigation.
Using a radio frequency (RF) energy source in conjunction with RF perforation instruments and puncture components, RF energy is used to puncture tissues and blood vessels. Combined with a multifunctional guidewire and visualization system, precise vascular access and catheter positioning are achieved.
It improves the safety and efficiency of vascular access, reduces the number of device changes during surgery, and lowers the risk of complications. In particular, it provides direct vascular access in cardiac interventional procedures and simplifies the catheter delivery process.
