First fully robotic remote endovascular stroke thrombectomy!

June 13, 2025

🚀 A historic milestone in neurointervention!

We’ve just performed the first fully robotic remote endovascular stroke thrombectomy in an animal model using the Sentante robot – with 1600+ km between the operator in Kaunas, Lithuania and the procedure in Paris, France.

Huge thanks to:
🔹 Darius Balciunas & Givi Lengvenis
🔹 Ricardo Hanel for guidance
🔹 iVascular for neuro devices

Distance is no longer a barrier to life-saving care!
