[Robotic-enhanced percutaneous coronary revascularization].

Percutaneous revascularization (PCI) has made significant technological progress in the last four decades. Despite advances in the safety and efficacy of the coronary revascularization, interventional cardiologists have to cope with occupational hazards including exposure to radiation, cataract, and orthopedic problems. Robotic systems that enable distant navigation were developed to address the risks and challenges that are associated with percutaneous revascularization. The PRECISE multi-center study with robotic-enhanced PCI demonstrated technical success of 98.7% and clinical success of 97.5%. The use of the robotic-enhanced PCI system reduced operator radiation exposure by 95%. Patient benefits include precise segment measurements, improved stability of the intracoronary devices, and reduction of contrast media volume. Robotic-enhanced PCI is a promising advancement in interventional cardiology.
