Robotic interventional cardiology

<p>"In the majority of robotic-assisted cases I perform, automated movements are particularly helpful in delivering gear – I can easily get balloons and stents around the C-shaped curve in the right coronary artery from the cockpit just like I would be able to if I were at the table. In addition to ensuring precision, this means that I’m offered a level of protection from the radiation exposure that interventional cardiologists typically experience. Robotics is one of the many components that can contribute to a radiation safety-based culture, which is a key area of focus for many teams in the interventional space to create safe working conditions and encourage strong teamwork and longevity."</p> <p><a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/rhian-davies-do-ms-facc-fscai-2520ba212/" target="_blank" rel="noopener follow noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl= "https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.linkedin.com/in/rhian-davies-do-ms-facc-fscai-2520ba212/&source=gmail&ust=1651144850798000&usg=AOvVaw3sQPQjWUcdcAfyjLlYtzOv" data-wpel-link="exclude">Rhian E.
