‘World-first’ AI-backed ultrasound robot congenital heart surgery completed in China
SMRTR summary
A Chinese military hospital completed the world's first AI-guided robotic surgery for congenital heart disease, using a system that autonomously navigated a catheter inside a patient's heart without continuous human control. Unlike existing surgical robots, this AI processed real-time ultrasound images and directed physical movements independently, placing a sealing device with sub-millimeter precision while eliminating harmful radiation exposure from traditional X-ray-guided procedures.
