| Résumé: | Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has undergone a rapid and adaptive evolution since its introduction into clinical practice more than 40 years ago. It is the most common mode of coronary revascularisation in use, with the scope, breadth and constellation of disease being treated increasing markedly over time. This has principally been driven by improvements in technology, engineering and training in the field, which has facilitated more complex PCI procedures to be undertaken safely. Robot-assisted PCI represents the next paradigm shift in contemporary PCI practice. It has the ability to enhance procedural accuracy for the patient while improving radiation safety and ergonomics for the operator. This state-of-the-art review outlines the current position and future potential of robot-assisted PCI. |
