What Is a Robotic Endovascular Procedure?

If your physician recommends a robotic endovascular procedure, you may be wondering what that means and how it differs from a traditional endovascular treatment.

The good news is that, in many ways, a robotic endovascular procedure is very similar to a traditional endovascular procedure. The difference is that your physician uses advanced robotic technology to help navigate the tools needed to reach the treatment area within your blood vessels.

Understanding the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic System

LIBERTY is a single-use endovascular robotic system designed for quick and efficient setup while providing physicians with control of interventional tools through remote operation during peripheral vascular procedures.

Rather than replacing the physician, the LIBERTY System serves as an assistant that helps physicians maneuver wires and catheters during treatment.

Throughout the procedure, your physician remains in control and directs every movement of the interventional tools.

When performing peripheral vascular procedures, physicians often work with long, fine wires and catheters (very thin tubes). These tools must be carefully maneuvered through blood vessels to reach the intended treatment area.

One of the key advantages of robotic systems is precision. LIBERTY is designed for precise, consistent, and controlled movements while navigating within the vessels. This level of control helps support accurate positioning of the interventional tools before and during delivery of the treatment at the necessary location.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a robotic endovascular procedure different from a traditional endovascular procedure?

In many ways, the procedures are similar. The primary difference is that the physician uses the LIBERTY System as an assistant to help control and maneuver the interventional tools used during treatment.

What tools are used during a robotic endovascular procedure?

Physicians use wires and catheters to navigate through blood vessels and reach the treatment location. The LIBERTY System helps navigate these tools.

How is LIBERTY used during a procedure?

LIBERTY is operated by the physician, who always remains in control. The LIBERTY system assists with the navigation of tools to help support the physician during the procedure.

What is the benefit of robotic assistance?

The LIBERTY Endovascular Robotic System is designed to allow physicians to make consistent, and controlled maneuvers when navigating blood vessels to the treatment area.

Advancing Endovascular Care

Robotic-assisted technology continues to advance the field of endovascular treatment. The LIBERTY Endovascular Robotic System was designed to provide physicians with a compact, efficient platform for remote operation and precise control during peripheral vascular procedures.

By serving as an assistant to the physician, the system helps support key steps of the procedure, allowing physicians to focus on delivering care where it is needed most.
