Complication during robotic‐PCI: Iatrogenic guiding catheter dissection

摘要

Robotic-assisted percutaneous interventions (R-PCI) is a revolutionary technology designed to improve operator safety and procedural precision. The second-generation CorPath GRX (Corindus) R-PCI platform allows operators to manipulate the guiding catheter using robotic joystick controls. We report a case where robotic guide catheter manipulation caused a dramatic left main stem dissection. We highlight important concepts learned following this complication.
