Robotic‐assisted percutaneous coronary intervention in a COVID‐19 patient

Abstract: Coronavirus disease‐2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic is the biggest global health threat in the 21st century. We describe a case of a patient with suspected COVID‐19 who needed urgent coronary artery interrogation, in which we utilized robotic assistance to minimize the risk of exposure to COVID‐19 and reduced personal protective equipment needed by the procedural team.

“…However, except those timings, all staff can stay away from the tableside; consequently, R-PCI could minimize the proximity to the patient for the majority of the procedure. Therefore, in a pandemic such COVID-19 [ 12 , 13 ], R-PCI may be useful to reduce the exposure risk to healthcare providers in the management of patients at high risk for COVID-19 or confirmed positives that require coronary intervention [ 14 , 15 ].…”
