Robotic endovascular catheters (REC) improve accuracy, reduce time and minimise radiation exposure in complex vascular procedures

Abstract

Results:The 30-day mortality was 2•6% in AAD and 7•5% in CAD.The 30-day stroke and paraplegia rates were 5•3% and 0% in AAD and zero in patients with CAD.At 30 months, the cumulative re-intervention rate was 62% and 55% in AAD and CAD, respectively.In AAD, at 12 months, the false lumen thrombosis rate was 85% at the stent and 60% below it.In CAD, thrombosis rates were 68% above the stent and 33% below it.Conclusion: Aortic remodelling is greater in AAD.In AAD and in the segment, for both dissection types, false lumen thrombosis rates are higher.In AAD and CAD there is a significant re-intervention rate.The length of aorta covered with the stent should be greater, particularly in CAD.Robotic endovascular catheters (REC) improve accuracy, reduce time and minimise radiation exposure in complex vascular procedures
