Second-generation robotic angioplasty system use for the treatment of ST-elevation myocardial infarction: a first-in-man proof of concept case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Robotically assisted remote-controlled PCI (rPCI) was introduced in the past decade as one of the latest enhancements in this rapidly evolving field. The use of a second-generation rPCI system in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is an effort to couple immediate revascularization with the accuracy of newer robotic assistance and software support.

Case summary

Here we report on the safety and efficacy of rPCI applied to a 74-year-old female STEMI patient with persistent acute chest pain as well as regional wall motion abnormalities in the echocardiogram. The first medical contact-to-device time was 76 min, and door-to-balloon time was 33 min. The impatient course was uneventful, so the patient was discharged from hospital after 5 days.
