A technical guide to robotic catheter angiography with the Corindus CorPath GRX system

Abstract

Robotic catheter angiography is an emerging technology with the opportunity to increase procedural precision and decrease occupational hazards.1-5 In this video, we present our initial experiences with the CorPath GRX Robotic System (Corindus, a Seimens Healthineers Company, Waltham, Massachusetts, USA), including various technical considerations such as set-up, operation, and recommended tools (video 1). We demonstrate that the robotic system can be used to reformat catheters and select cervical arteries without the need for manual conversion. Lastly, we discuss the commonly encountered robot-specific operational challenges, along with strategies to overcome them. neurintsurg;14/12/1284/V1F1V1Video 1Video 1.
