    Abstract: The invention describes an autonomous catheterization assembly (1) comprising a catheter arrangement (C, 10) for insertion into the vascular system (20) of a patient (2), which catheter arrangement (C, 10) comprises a sensor arrangement (S1, S2, S3) adapted to sense a condition in the interior of a vessel (200) of the vascular system (20); a shape adjustment means (100) arranged in a distal portion (10D) of the catheter arrangement (C, 10); and an actuator arrangement (101A, 101B) realised to control the shape adjustment means (100) to adjust the shape and/or orientation of the distal portion (10D) of the catheter arrangement (C, 10). The autonomous catheterization assembly (1) further comprises a propulsion assembly (11, 11C, 11G) adapted to propel elements (C, 10) of the catheter arrangement (C, 10) through the vascular system (20) of a patient (2); a route computation module (12) realized to compute a route (R) through the vascular system (20) to a target (21); and a control unit (13) realized to actuate the propulsion assembly (11) on the basis of the computed route (R) and/or in response to a sensed condition in the interior of a vessel (200) of the vascular system (20). The invention further describes a catheter arrangement (C, 10) of a catheterization assembly; and a method of performing an autonomous catheterization procedure on a patient (2).

    Abstract: Disclosed is a pericardiocentesis needle component (10), comprising a guide wire (13) and a puncture needle (12). The guide wire (13) extends into and through the puncture needle (12), and the guide wire (13) comprises a bent section (32) at the distal end and a straight section at the proximal end. The bent section (32) at the distal end is formed by bending the guide wire (13), and the end of the bent section is a pointed-shape structure. The guide wire (13) is made of a highly elastic material. The pointed end rotates at least 90 degrees within a range of no more than 3 mm starting from the pointed end at the bent section (32) of the guide wire. The pericardiocentesis needle component (10) of the present invention is less likely to damage a heart during a pericardiocentesis procedure.
