Teleoperated robotic surgical system for percutaneous coronary intervention.

ABSTRACT: Heart disease has been the leading cause of death worldwide for decades. Today, Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) has become the gold standard for treating heart disease due to its minimally invasive nature, effectively reducing the time for both surgery and recovery. During a PCI procedure, the surgeon injects a contrast agent into the coronary arteries and uses live X-ray images to obtain information on blockages. However, prolonged radiation exposure could cause dose accumulation and harm to surgeons. Recently, major technological advancements in robotic surgery have made minimally invasive surgery easier. In contrast, only a few robotic surgical systems have been developed for PCI with semi-automation. In this study, the framework of a teleoperated PCI robotic surgical system, m
