Second Generation Robotic PCI System Performs Well Across Spectrum of Lesion Complexity
Multicenter PRECISION GRX Study showed the Siemens Corpath GRX is safe and effective in variety of real-world lesions
The Corindus CorPath robotic cath lab navigation system allows operators to sit and control the procedure from behind a lead-lined booth, so they do not have to wear heavy aprons during the procedures.
May 5, 2021 A late-breaking study of the Siemens Healthineers Corindus Corpath GRX second-generation cath lab robotic system had high rates of clinical and technical success across the spectrum of lesion complexity. The multicenter PRECISION GRX Study was presented at the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) 2021 meeting.
