Observational study finds manual support is required in nearly twenty percent of robotic percutaneous coronary interventions, indicating technological limitations in complex coronary anatomy.
Our findings reveal that nearly one out five of patients undergoing R-PCI required manual support, which was linked to longer procedure durations. Predictors of manual support reflected characteristics of more complex coronary lesions. These results highlight the limitations of current R-PCI platforms and underscore the need for technical advancements to address different clinical scenarios.
