註釋
An explosion in multidisciplinary research, combining mechanical, chemical, and electrical engineering with physiology and medicine, during the 1960s created huge advances in modern health care. In cardiovascular therapy, lifesaving implantable defibrillators, ventricular assist devices, catheter-based ablation devices, vascular stent technology, and cell and tissue engineering technologies have been introduced. The latest and leading technology presents robots intended to keep the surgeon in the most comfortable, dexterous, and ergonomic position during the entire procedure. The branch of the medical and rehabilitation robotics includes the manipulators and robots providing surgery, therapy, prosthetics, and rehabilitation. This chapter provides an overview of research in cardiac surgery devices.
