    Bioelectric navigation is a novel method for catheter guidance that uses electric fields instead of traditional fluoroscopic imaging.

  • 2

    Current bioelectric navigation lacks precise localization between vascular features, limiting its effectiveness in real surgical scenarios.

  • 3

    The proposed extension involves adding a stationary electrode in the blood vessel to improve catheter displacement and direction detection.

  • 4

    This enhanced bioelectric navigation aims to reduce radiation exposure and contrast agent use during endovascular procedures.

  • 5

    The approach could complement fluoroscopy, allowing for non-fluoroscopic catheter localization while still utilizing fluoroscopic validation.
