    Transfemoral access is common for transcatheter procedures but poses challenges due to limited visualization and operator expertise.

  • 2

    Current navigation methods rely on 2D X-ray fluoroscopy, exposing patients to radiation and providing incomplete information on catheter interactions.

  • 3

    Medical Augmented Reality System (MARS) enhances spatial understanding but cannot fully replace conventional navigation due to intraoperative limitations.

  • 4

    The study introduces a method combining sensor-based catheter reconstruction, biomechanical simulation, and mixed reality for improved monitoring.

  • 5

    In vitro validation demonstrates the potential of the integrated approach to enhance navigational awareness during advanced endovascular procedures.
