Robotic percutaneous coronary intervention (R-PCI) is an emerging technology designed to improve operator safety and procedural precision. The interventional cardiologist is able to manipulate guidewires, catheters and devices from a specific cockpit...
After the introduction of the first robotic-assisted surgical procedures, the technology soon reached the world of endovascular specialists, giving rise to several publications about robotic-assisted endovascular therapy. Compared with conventional p...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Robotics has been used in multiple areas of procedural medical intervention. Robotic percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been available since 2004. Its adoption has been slow with initial application in simple cases.
This study was to show the impact of 'prostate-muscle index (PMI)', which we developed as a novel pelvic cavity measurement, in patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). We defined PMI as the 'distance between the inner edge of...
Background CT imaging of chronic total occlusion (CTO) is useful in guiding revascularization, but manual reconstruction and quantification are time consuming. Purpose To develop and validate a deep learning (DL) model for automated CTO reconstructio...

OBJECTIVE: Early revascularization of the occluded coronary artery in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has been demonstrated to decrease mortality and morbidity. Currently, physicians rely on features of electrocardiograms (EC...
OBJECTIVE: Robot-assisted minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (RA-MIDCAB) surgery and hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) are minimally invasive alternative strategies to conventional coronary artery bypass surgery in patients with i...
In this article, we focus on the important role of robot-assisted coronary surgery by reporting the successful case of a morbidly obese male (body mass index = 58 kg/m) who presented to our center with severe coronary disease. A 54-year-old morbidly ...
