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. We are communicating with neurosurgeons at Harvard Medical School to better understand their needs and challenges in actual clinical settings. I deeply appreciate your encouragement and thank you again for sharing your stories. May God bless you and your son.

@@SkyCloudSilence What on earth is wrong with you? Go slither back to whatever cult you came from, heathen.

@@SkyCloudSilence Some might argue that using air conditioning, antibiotics, and RU-vid is also playing god or "tinkering with creation"... All sins I'm sure you enjoy.. your response?

The best comment bro... Tu hi bhai hai mera🤣🤣

lol

_AI-controlled temp magnets are one of so many methods_

probably the robotic part of all this will be the external machine that guides the wire

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.

Yes.

@@oo-wr4pq what makes it a robot and not a tool?

Pulling it with magnet to me.

@@eyeofhorus1301 Yes.

Just the fact that its magnetic driven supports a future feature on which this magnetic field is remotely controlled

Oh no I was tuning it out before but your comment made me start to register it

I agree.....it is really sh#t.....makes me feel like i have to go do something...getting on a bus or so

Well this video is ruined now

Honestly, I love clock sounds, so it didn't bother me at all. XD I can agree it was a weird sound choice for the video, though.

I thought it sounded like a pickaxe mixed with the Kahoot music more than a clock

Shut up bloodu indians

@@satisfaction6891 shut up Pakistani

@Areo Deus And how did you know that ?

K Korona yep

ninjarawr21 what does that mean with me saying yep

@ninjarawr21 why are you so angry, calm down friend

@ninjarawr21 :)

Comeback when you get the perfect SAT score.

Paul Kim I will

you cool!

:)very nice

apparently we may study together.

i'm comin in!

Ето все в настоящих масках есть..

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

@@ericl8743 Until they use high power density optical fiber with a cauterizing infrared laser behind it.

@@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.

The system controlling the magnets in the needle threading scenario was automatic.

@@Benni711 they use magnet

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.

@@UnitSe7en Please don't be rude. Let's not start an argument.

One day it will be mind controlling...

actually I know many folks who've benefited from this exact surgery... the other option is typically death.

Seems to work fine so far, why would they change it

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.

Peter Jamali profeesor xuanhe zhao at mechcanical engineering department

It's the University of Massachusetts actually.

@@nantzstein3311 lol a department is a area that spesificly do one task its a correct term MIT has multi departments

Technically it's not robo cuz they used magnets to make it move...

@@eri9986 technically there was no mention of the word robo here

They attach an external pacemaker and the patient won't notice a thing afterwards. Pacemakers aren't really damaged by strong magnets, it's just that placing one over them is a way to temporarily disable them if they have a malfunction.

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

I thought the same thing, it wouldn't be a trivial task

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.

@@AtlasReburdened hmm yes I see, what about making a tiny grinding wheel for breaking down clots and how fine would it be to allow the body to naturally flush the particles?

@@Befread Well, the body is normally very good at breaking down small clots and there's medicines to help with dealing with the remnants of one that's broken up. I'm not sure that a mechanical grinder is an option at that scale but they can use ablative laser pulses and may be able to integrate an ultrasonic element into the tip which could use sound to break up clots as well.

Manmade nematomorpha

This should not even be classified as Technology. a Handheld Magnet guides a thread through a tube is not a robot.

@@toraguchitoraguchi9154 Have you seen a snakelike thread before that can be steered using a magnet ?

@@skeletonofwisdom2922 Yes, 5th Grade science project.

@@toraguchitoraguchi9154 yeah MIT students have a lot of time to work on a 5th grade science project.

@@toraguchitoraguchi9154 lol...

Maybe spend some time to study economy....

Raditya Oe Typical hippie socialist argument. I wonder what could possibly go wrong

Most of the technical progress was made because of war or the fear of war

Yes, we should have hunger games instead.

That could also lead to corruption because too much stake at the hand.

None

@Alexander Leblanc It's a hand held magnet guiding a metallic thread through a tube- a 5th-grade science project.

so like these guys? Difference between havin an idea and making it a reality.....

Since some people's brain is in their butt, it's a pretty short distance.
