Narrative review of latest research progress about robotic percutaneous coronary intervention.
Article in Journal of geriatric cardiology : JGC, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Robotic percutaneous coronary intervention (R-PCI) is a novel technology in which operators can manipulate guidewires and catheter devices in interventional cardiology. This approach provides great benefits to interventional cardiologists in terms of reducing both radiation exposure and orthopedic injuries. Several large, high-quality cohort studies have confirmed the short-term safety and high technical success rate of R-PCI. However, randomized long-term data are still needed before adopting them as part of standard coronary interventions. Furthermore, tele-stenting for complex coronary lesions has significant potential for R-PCI. We need to overcome the present relevant challenges for its application such as inherent delays, bedside care for unstable patients from R-PCIs to manual PCIs (M-PCIs), incompatibility for a thrombus aspiration catheter and heavily calcified lesions. There is a great future in laboratory workflow teams, 3D-printed anatomical models and multiple joint collaborative control algorithms. This narrative review summarizes the latest developments in R-PCI, with a focus on developments in robotic technology, and discusses the current and future potential use of R-PCI in clinical practice globally.
