Renowned medical journal publishes the
successful clinical results of remote PCI procedures using CorPath®
GRX Robotic System technology
Corindus Vascular Robotics, Inc. (“Corindus” or the “Company”)
(NYSE American: CVRS), a leading developer of precision vascular
robotics, announced today that EClinicalMedicine, a clinical
journal published by the nearly 200-year-old medical journal The
Lancet, has published the results from the Telerobotic Intervention
Study, the world’s first percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)
procedures conducted from a remote location outside the
catheterization lab using Corindus’ CorPath technology
platform.
The paper, titled Long Distance Telerobotic-Assisted
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: First-in-Human Experience,
discusses five successful patient cases performed by
internationally acclaimed physician Dr. Tejas Patel, Chairman and
Chief Interventional Cardiologist of the Apex Heart Institute in
Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. The five patients featured in the paper
underwent elective PCI procedures from a distance of approximately
20 miles (32 kilometers) from Dr. Patel’s location inside the
Swaminarayan Akshardham Temple in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India. His
partner, Dr. Sanjay Shah, was onsite in the room with each patient
at the Apex Heart Institute.
“I am honored to have been a part of this medical milestone,”
stated Dr. Patel. “The application of telerobotics for remote
treatment has the potential to impact a significant number of lives
by providing access to specialized care that may not otherwise be
possible. I am pleased to share my experience with the clinical
community in such a well-respected publication that is part of the
Lancet family,” added Dr. Patel.
To improve patient outcomes and broaden access to high-level
care, Corindus has pioneered the world’s first remote telerobotic
interventional platform to deliver highly specialized and timely
cardiovascular care to underserved patient populations with
geographic barriers to treatment. The Company is working on product
development to enable use of the CorPath System in remote
interventions and expand the Company’s robotic platform to address
stroke care.
“Remote procedures have the potential to transform how we
deliver care when treating the most time-sensitive illnesses such
as heart attack and stroke. The success of this study paves the way
for large-scale, long-distance telerobotic platforms across the
globe, and its publication in Lancet’s EClinicalMedicine
demonstrates the transformative nature of telerobotics,” said Mark
Toland, President and Chief Executive Officer of Corindus Vascular
Robotics. “While remote robotic procedures are still in the early
stages of development, it is clear we are on track to expand
patients’ access to care, while reducing their time to treatment,”
Toland concluded.
