Feasibility and safety of robotic PCI in China: first in man experience in Asia.

摘要

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of a second generation robotic percutaneous coronary intervention (R-PCI) system in China. BACKGROUND: Robotic PCI has been shown to be an effective method for conducting coronary interventions. It has further benefits of more accurate lesion measurement, improved stent deployment, reduced incidence of geographic miss and reduction of operator radiation exposure. METHODS: . later cases. RESULTS: = 0.31). CONCLUSIONS: Second generation robotic PCI was safe, effective and there were trends toward improvements in procedural efficiency during this early experience in China.
