Abstract:
The introduction of robots into healthcare has brought a wealth of opportunity for technical advancements, ranging from cleaning robots to disinfect hospital rooms to the high-tech surgical robots used in the operating room. Robotic-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention (R-PCI) has been a more recent development in the field, and is particularly revolutionary in that it serves to benefit the interventional cardiologist as well as the patient. Published data on R-PCI have shown its feasibility, safety, and more recently, its potential benefits. This review examines the current role of the robot in the catheterization laboratory, the authors' experience with the most current generation of the robot, and what is yet to come.
