• Influence of patient-specific rehearsal on operative metrics and technical success for endovascular aneurysm repair 

      Våpenstad, Cecilie; Lamøy, Siv Marit Jonli; Aasgaard, Frode; Manstad-Hulaas, Frode; Aadahl, Petter; Søvik, Edmund; Stensæth, Knut Haakon (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Introduction: Patient-specific rehearsal (PsR) is a recent technology within virtual reality (VR) simulation that lets the operators train on patient-specific data in a simulated environment prior to the procedure. ...
    • Manually steerable catheter with improved agility 

      Tangen, Geir Arne; Manstad-Hulaas, Frode; Nypan, Erik; Brekken, Reidar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Purp ose: A prototype steerable catheter was designed for endovascular procedures. This technical pilot study reports the initial experience using the catheter for cannulation of visceral arteries. Technique: The 7F catheter ...
    • Midterm Outcomes for Endovascular Repair of Thoraco-Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms 

      Ulsaker, Håvard; Seternes, Arne; Brekken, Reidar; Manstad-Hulaas, Frode (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Objective: To investigate technical and clinical outcomes in patients with thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysms treated with the multibranched off the shelf Zenith t-Branch stent graft or a custom made device (CMD). Methods: A ...
    • Prediction of guidewire-induced aortic deformations during EVAR: a finite element and in vitro study 

      Emendi, Monica; Støverud, Karen-Helene; Tangen, Geir Arne; Ulsaker, Håvard; Manstad-Hulaas, Frode; Di Giovanni, Pierluigi; Dahl, Sigrid Kaarstad; Langø, Thomas; Prot, Victorien Emile (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Introduction and aims: During an Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) procedure a stiff guidewire is inserted from the iliac arteries. This induces significant deformations on the vasculature, thus, affecting the pre-operative ...
    • A Steerable and Electromagnetically Tracked Catheter: Navigation Performance Compared With Image Fusion in a Swine Model 

      Nypan, Erik; Tangen, Geir Arne; Brekken, Reidar; Manstad-Hulaas, Frode (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Purpose: Cannulation of visceral vessels is necessary during fenestrated and branched endovascular aortic repair. In an attempt to reduce the associated radiation and contrast dose, an electromagnetically (EM) trackable ...
