Abstract:Aims of the studyPercutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) exposes operators to ionizing radiation. Robotic-assisted PCI (RA-PCI) is a novel technology that enables interventional cardiologists to operate coronary devices remotely from a radiation-shed cockpit. The aim of this study is to describe the experience and challenges during the initiation of a RA-PCI program and to report outcomes of the first 21 patients undergoing RA-PCI in Switzerland.MethodsAll patients undergoing RA-PCI using the CorPath GRX Vasc… Show more
“…This system allows for highly accurate and controlled movements during procedures like catheter ablation for arrhythmias, reducing the margin of error and improving patient outcomes. One other notable example is the CorPath GRX Robotic System, designed for use in endovascular procedures such as percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) ( 31 ). This system enables remote robotic-assisted control of guidewires and catheters, allowing for intricate movements with heightened precision.…”
