Medicine has always evolved through a blend of scientific rigor and bold innovation. Over the last century, surgical practice has progressed from risky open procedures to highly controlled, minimally invasive interventions. Laparoscopic surgery marked one such revolution, dramatically enhancing patient outcomes by enabling precision through small incisions. By the 1990s, it had become an essential part of modern surgery.
A similar, albeit slower, evolution has taken place in endovascular care. Since the first catheterization in 1929, the field has steadily advanced, with endovascular procedures now essential in specialties such as electrophysiology, interventional cardiology, and vascular surgery. The rise of catheter-based ablations in the past 15 years underscores how deeply integrated these techniques have become.
Now, the next frontier—robotic-assisted endovascular surgery—is...
