Department Of Cardiology, Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital, Carrying Out Robotic Coronary Intervention Surgery
Could cardio surgery be performed thousands of miles away by doctors?
Someone may says it is impossible. However, the team of Professor Xu Yawei, director of the Heart Center of Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital, has completed a crucial step in this operation.
On February 16, 2023, Professor Xu Yawei's team from the Cardiology Department of Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital successfully completed a case of stent implantation and intravascular ultrasound examination for severe coronary artery stenosis by using the ETcath 200--- The Endovascular Robotics System.
The patient was a 75-year-old woman who came to our hospital because of compressive pain behind the sternum. Intraoperative angiography showed severe stenosis of the anterior descending artery, which seriously affected the blood supply to the myocardium, which was the main culprit of the patient's frequent chest pains.

During the operation, Professor Xu controlled the Endovascular Robotics System through the console at the operating room. The precision and precision operation of surgical instruments and the resistance feedback function of robots greatly improve the safety of patients during surgery. At the same time, compartment operation can minimize the radiation dose suffered by the surgeon.
