“…The slow adoption of RA-PCI systems in Switzerland and worldwide despite consistently reported favorable safety and reduction in radiation exposure to the operator may be related to the additional costs ( 23 ) not covered by the healthcare systems, need for highly qualified tableside assistants, lack of clinical benefit and limitation in use of more specialized PCI equipment. The possibility of long-distance remote PCI (“tele-stenting”), which has already been performed in India ( 24 ), is unlikely to become relevant in Switzerland given the high density of catheterization laboratories, but may be an interesting opportunity for large countries ( 25 ). Nevertheless, the slow adoption resulted in the recent retraction of the robotic CorPath GRX system by the manufacturer due to economic considerations although competitive products continue to be commercialized.…”
