Holographic navigation could make aortic surgery safer
NCT ID NCT06008613
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early feasibility study tested a 3D holographic guidance system to help surgeons place stent grafts during endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) for abdominal aortic aneurysms. Two patients participated, and the system was used alongside standard X-ray imaging to confirm correct placement. The goal was to see if the holographic guidance could improve precision and reduce reliance on radiation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
3D holographic guidance, navigation, and control (3D-GN&C) device
What this could lead to
If successful, this technology could make aortic aneurysm repair more precise and reduce the need for X-ray imaging during surgery.
What could go wrong
This was a very small early study with only 2 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The device is experimental and requires further testing.
