Overview
Preclinical feasibility in canines supports robotic system development; human safety and efficacy remain untested.
Structured PICO
P
Population
7 mongrel dogs undergoing endocardial navigation and transseptal puncture using a robotic catheter remote control system.
I
Intervention
Robotic catheter remote control system (CCS) integrated with intracardiac echocardiography and 3-D electroanatomical mapping
O
Outcome
Time to complete transseptal puncture, time to complete access to predefined targets in each cardiac chamber, and safety evaluated by gross and microscopic examinationssafety
A novel robotic catheter remote control system is safe and feasible for endocardial navigation and transseptal puncture in a canine model.

Saliba et al. (2006) studied this question. Robotic catheter remote control system (CCS) was evaluated on Time to complete transseptal puncture and access predefined targets, and safety. Endocardial catheter navigation and transseptal puncture using a robotic catheter remote control system was safe and feasible in 7 mongrel dogs, with successful transseptal puncture in all animals.
