Hi Tim, I am Yoonho Kim, the inventor of the device. I am sorry to hear what you went through. I also hope that this can be used to save lives in near future. I will do my best to push it forward. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and hope!
@@YoonhoLukeKim Kim, it is good to hear from the inventor himself,indeed.I had a brief chat with the surgeon before her surgery.He informed me the technique/device he was using is called pipeline emblization.It's a risky process( he told me there was 15% chance of a stroke) but not doing anything was also not an option since that would leave the patient with a 50% chance of stroke.Well I'm not sure about the % but all I know that right before the procedure they had to administer blood thinner which is super risky for a raptured brain anyurism patient.Post surgery the surgeon told me eveything went fine.But his face was telling me another story.Sure enough later that evening my wife's condition deteriorated and by midnight the surgeon was sitting in front of me & my son looking apologetic.He's a renowned endo vascular surgeon.Three weeks after her death I had a meeting with the surgeon.He told me and my son how deadly a ruptured aneurysm can be and the treatment in his word was - " we just play with it." So it's a hit or miss.He denied he knew something was wrong because after surgery his assitant pushed dye and no leakage was found. Kim, you're exceptionally gifted to be in MIT.In my grief I often wondered if and when medical science would come up with a better solution for surgeons to treat high risk patients like my wife more effectively so they don't have to say that they "just play with it" ever again to another deceased patient's relative.That's really disappointing to hear from a man involved in cutting edge medical science. When I saw the thumbnail, I instantly recognized it as subarrachnoid blood vessels(because of many youtube videos I watched since the tragedy) and clicked on it. Push for it brother.Hopefully once you succeed,fewer people's life will be destroyed like mine and more and more patients will return home instead of going to funeral home.
@@timc9372 Thank you Tim, for sharing your painful memories. Treating cerebral aneurysms is indeed very challenging with high risks, and I believe technology can help improving the safety of the procedures.

They'll put the magnet on a multiaxis actuator and write a program mapping an intuitive controller to a certain position and orientation of the magnet.

Very cool. I'd imagine you could make a map of the blood vessels with an MRI and guide it with a similar computerized machine to direct the magnetic pulses.

I hope you have an amazing day, and I look forward to seeing what else you guys invent :)
An ischemic stroke is caused by a blockage such as plaque that broke off from somewhere else so surgeons need to remove these blockages to prevent the patient from dying or causing tissue death in one specific spot. Hemorrhagic strokes have other complications as it's due to a bleed hence the name which cannot be fixed by this wire
@@AtlasReburdened my area of expertise is lasers so that's pretty funny. Blood has a lot of water in it which will absorb a lot of power from a laser so that may be difficult from within an artery. Mid IR lasers are still pretty immature so the laser power is low. You get a lot of signal attenuation with optical fiber. Hopefully things improve soon with lasers then there will be a lot more medical applications which will be exciting. Quantum Cascade Lasers are interesting if you'd want to read more about the subject
@@ericl8743 In my experience the universe is a vain mistress, she'll allow almost anything if you throw enough joules at her. Perhaps we can use rapidly timed pulses to create a train of tiny cavitation bubbles in the path of the laser which aren't big enough to do major damage upon collapse, but enough to increase the mean free path of the infrared photons by a couple orders of magnitude, allowing it to cast upon the next potential cavitation site or the actual site to be cauterized. If such a technique we're viable, the addition of a second comparatively tiny optic cable would allow spectral analysis of the previous target, possibly with the need to pump a little broad spectum light down the main fiber between power pulses, and could allow for an autonomous switching from cavitation mode, into cauterization, and on to cycle shutdown with a single input from the user.
A robot by definition according to the university of oxford is a machine that is able to do human movements and functions automatically. This doesn't seem very automatic to me.
Definition for robot has changed, like a lot of definitions. Robots never had to be human analogs, nor completely autonomous. This is a robot. I wish people would stop focusing on the minutiae of the details of the definition of what they called it. It's because of dickheads like you the world is fucked.
Imagine how much progress in future when all military budget all over the world erased, instead turned and given for research n developement, for better world.
Right? I can only imagine that if they can get enough light through that fiber optic for it to serve as an ablative tool then surely they can also be used as a cauterizing tool. That and a little bit more flexibility on the tip could send the concept of an inaccessible bleed or clot to the history books.
Love the good work. But please be more specific with the title in the future. The current one sounds clickbaity and that not something the world needs.
Great project, but using such a long thread is far too 'clunky. It's a 'wrong approach'. - We instead need a tiny 'submarine', or maybe a small chain of them, filled with the tools for the job (minimal mass and volume, most processing done outside the body). They can trail a hair-thin chain for retracting the whole rig, if the submarines can't be recovered by reversing or by capturing them at a peripheral blood vessel. - While you're at it, make a larger version suitable for doing colonoscopies similarly. The present, clumsy cable is very uncomfortable and awkward to use, and is dangerous. It puts people off having the procedure done. - See if you can have it ready by, say, November, and post another video. =)
they should pulse multiple magnetic fields in such a way so that they can fully control the bending at any point on the wire! But hey, nice desing. It looks promising already

probably not needed : usually you find the path with the guide and then push a tube around it :) then you can remove the guidewire and start injecting fluids
Oh that wouldn't be that hard. We have an excellent grasp on the manufacture and use of capillary tubes. The main problem is that it would be much too slow compared to the method mentioned by François due to the fact that pushing a fluid through a small tube with any significant force has the effect of causing the tube to straighten and the force translates very well, so the flow of anything being added would have to be extremely slow. Small time is big money on a brain specialist's table.
