• Electromagnetic Navigation vs Fluoroscopy in Aortic Endovascular Procedures - A Phantom Study 

      Lund, Kjetil (Master thesis, 2016)
      Purpose: To explore the possible benefits of electromagnetic (EM) navigation versus conventional fluoroscopy during abdominal aortic endovascular procedures. Methods: The study was performed on a phantom representing the ...
    • 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)
      Purpose: 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 ...
    • Midterm Outcomes for Endovascular Repair of Thoraco-Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms 

      Ulsaker, Håvard; Seternes, Arne; Brekken, Reidar; Manstad-Hulaas, Frode (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
    • Navigation Technology in Endovascular Aortic Repair 

      Manstad-Hulaas, Frode (Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2013:62, Doctoral thesis, 2013)
      A number of diseases can affect the aorta, and endovascular (minimally invasive) techniques can be used to treat many of these conditions. During endovascular aortic repair, different instruments, such as catheters (plastic ...
    • A new removable airway stent 

      Amundsen, Tore; Sørhaug, Sveinung; Leira, Håkon Olav; Tyvold, Stig Sverre; Langø, Thomas; Hammer, Tommy Arild; Manstad-Hulaas, Frode; Mattsson, Erney (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)
      Background Malignant airway obstruction is a feared complication and will most probably occur more frequently in the future because of increasing cancer incidence and increased life expectancy in cancer patients. Minimal ...
    • Patency of arteriovenous haemodialysis fistulas: drug-eluting versus plain balloon angioplasty 

      Haave, Tina Reppe (Master thesis, 2016)
      Purpose: To assess the patencies of radiocephalic arteriovenous (AV) haemodialysis fistulas following drug-eluting balloon (DEB) angioplasty compared with plain balloon (PB) angioplasty. Methods: This retrospective ...
    • 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 ...
