Neurovascular catheter technology has rapidly evolved over the past decade. While performance characteristics are well known to the practitioner, the design features of these new-generation catheters and their implications on performance metrics remain a mystery to most clinicians due to the limited number of available resources. This knowledge gap hampers informed device choices and also limits collaboration between clinicians and engineers. To aid fellow neurointerventionalists, in this primer we have summarized the basic concepts of catheter design and construction.
在过去十年中,神经血管导管技术发展迅速。虽然从业者对其性能特征了如指掌,但由于可用资源有限,这些新一代导管的设计特点及其对性能指标的影响,对大多数临床医生来说仍是个谜。这种知识差距阻碍了明智的设备选择,也限制了临床医生与工程师之间的合作。为了帮助神经介入领域的同行,在本入门指南中,我们总结了导管设计与构造的基本概念。
