Features and Limitations of Robotically Assisted Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (R-PCI): A Systematic Review of R-PCI.

ABSTRACT: Background: Ischaemic heart disease is one of the major drivers of cardiovascular death in Europe. Since the first percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in 1977, developments and innovations in cardiology have made PCI the treatment of choice for stenotic coronary artery disease. To address the occupational hazards related to chronic exposure to radiation and wear and tear from heavy lead-based radioprotective aprons, the concept of robotically assisted PCI (R-PCI) was introduced in 2005. Aim: To explore the features and limitations of R-PCI, we first discuss the concept and evolution of R-PCI platforms and then systematically review the available clinical data. Methods: A systematic review has been performed across the Pubmed, Embase and Cochrane databases in order
