| Research Abstract |
In our research, we have developed stent robot for the people with ischemic heart disease. This robot has a capability to move in coronary arteries to maintain it. It has the coil in the middle part and cylinders at both ends. The cylinder parts can get the ultrasonic wave from outside to move in the blood vessel. In our experiments, we have succeeded in driving it in the water.
