A world's first attempt of mixed-reality system guided inferior vena cava filter implantation under remote guidance of 5G communication

摘要

Deep vein thrombosis(DVT)is a manifestation of venous thromboembolism,which can result from long-term bed and lead to pulmonary embolism(PE),stroke,mesenteric artery embolis,etc.Patients after surgery without bed-off activity may prone to thrombosis,but traditional anticoagulant therapy is a contraindication for them because of high risk of postoperative hemorrhage.Inferior vena cava filter(IVCF)implantation is the most effective method to intercept thrombosis from lower limb and to prevent PE.However,radiation and contrast agent limit its application.Our team have successfully performed an IVCF implantation guided by a mixed-reality(MR)system,[1]which is a chance for critically ill patients to allow the IVCF implantation exposed under no Xray and require no contrast agent.5G can help remote holographic projection images between distant range,meeting the needs of experts to guide the operation of critically ill patients.We describe a case of weak woman after neurosurgery who can not tolerate traditional interventional surgery to prevent DVT from falling off.We performed a mixed-reality system guided IVCF implantation under remote guidance of 5G communication.
