Current and future applications of robotics in structural heart interventions.
Review in EuroIntervention : journal of EuroPCR in collaboration with the Working Group on Interventional Cardiology of the European Society of Cardiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Robotics entered the cardiovascular field in the late 1990s with a robot-assisted coronary artery bypass graft. Since then, the use of robots has become a common part of cardiovascular surgery in several types of interventions. The experience in transcatheter interventions has been slower, and the application of robotics to percutaneous coronary interventions has shown some encouraging results but also some technical limitations. Following the growth of structural heart interventions, attention has recently switched to the potential application of robotics in this field. So far, several cases have been performed in animal models and only a few cases in humans. The opportunity to perform a procedure (almost) without any X-ray exposure or lead garments is extremely attractive, especially for operators. Alongside these, there are several further potential advantages, but there are also many challenges to overcome. The integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning in the near future might further contribute to improve the performance of future generations of robots. In this review, the current and future applications of robotics in structural heart interventions and transoesophageal echocardiography will be discussed, together with the potential advantages, challenges and future perspectives.
