Abstract
A robotic system for operating a endovascular deployment device (40) including a treatment device (43) mounted to a delivery tool (42) connected to a proximal control (41), and further including an optical shape sensor (44) (e.g., an endograft endovascular deployment device incorporating an optical shape sensor). The robotic system employs a robot (50) attachable to proximal control (41) and/or delivery tool (42) for navigating the treatment device (43) within a cardiovascular system (e.g., a robot controlling an axial rotation and/or axial translation of an endograft mounted to a sheath catheter). The robotic system further employs a robot controller (74) for controlling a navigation of treatment device (43) within the cardiovascular system by the robot (50) derived from a spatial registration between a shaping sensing by the optical shape sensor (44) of a portion or entirety of endovascular deployment device (40) to a medical image of the cardiovascular system (e.g., an X-ray/reconstructed image of an abdominal aorta).
