The paper presents ROSES, its robotic components, the different devices, not necessarily sterile, and its disposables, suitable for any endovascular procedure, both actually performed and presently not assisted by any robotic system, and open in the future for new application yet to come, such as what will be allowed by the new animated catheter. In fact, this is due to the mechanical configuration of the robotic actuators based on a peculiar gear train which presents a big passage hole which allows both the passage of big catheters and even hemostasis valves, as well as full control of very small catheters and guide wires. The system measures forces opposed by the body showing their value both numerically and analogically without the need of any. special tool, measures length of penetration of each catheter and guide wires recording their value. Thus, it may become in future, connected to a work station that will register in real time also the fluoroscopic images, a kind of black box of endovascular surgeries, separating completely doctor and nurses from the patient, using also cameras and microphones to replace the physical contact with the patient.

Effectiveness of CAM (Complementary and Alternative Medicine) on Varicose Vein Complications

The Varicose vein disease (VVD) is characterized by the enlargement and outward bulging of the veins in the legs. The majority of persons with varicose veins hardly ever see meaningful relief from standard medical treatment. The comprehensive approach of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) can be used jointly or separately to prevent, minimize, and treat the condition known as enhanced valve competence. Yoga, Ayurveda, Siddha, Homeopathy, and Naturopathy are just a few of the many alternative therapies available through CAM that are affordable. Numerous experimental findings revealed that the alternative therapy works by modifying the hs-CRP protein, enhancing apoptosis, and lowering homocysteine concentration to alleviate the symptoms of varicose vein problems and associated issues.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a revolutionary force in various industries, transforming processes and enhancing outcomes through its advanced capabilities. In the realm of healthcare, AI is making significant strides, particularly in the field of endovascular treatment, a minimally invasive medical procedure conducted within blood vessels. This editorial explores the multifaceted applications of AI in endovascular treatment, shedding light on its pivotal role in improving patient care and procedural efficiency.
