During robotic-assisted PCI, physicianscan  use joysticks and touchscreen controls sitting in a radiation-shielded workstation, the Interventional Cockpit, to robotically control guidewires and balloon / stent catheters during an intervention.

"This is a tremendous advancement in the technology platform that will greatly extend the clinical capability of the system."

A component of CorPath platform, the CorPath GRX has been upgraded with features such as the Active Guide Management enabling control of the guide catheter along with robotically controlling of the guidewire and balloon or stent catheter, with one-millimeter advancement, from the control console.

This precise positioning will enable adjustment of guide catheter position during PCI procedures and can also expand the usage of CorPath for more complex cases.
