Corindus Announces First Live Transmission of Remote Robotic Demonstration Performed at Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics 2018 Conference

The global shortage of skilled specialists who can treat emergent conditions, such as a heart attack or acute ischemic stroke, is significant and continues to be a growing problem. Remote treatment has the potential to enable physicians to conduct procedures from virtually any location, opening opportunities for more patients globally to receive the benefits of lifesaving procedures where minimizing time to treatment is critical.

Earlier this year, Mayo Clinic received a $3.3 million grant from The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust to support a multi-phase, multi-year development program for remote robotic technology. Mayo Clinic is working with Corindus to explore telerobotics as a new treatment paradigm that gives rural and underserved populations across the globe access to time-critical vascular therapies.

“We believe it fitting that the first-ever live transmission of a remote interventional procedure took place at the 30^thanniversary of the TCT meeting. Interventional cardiovascular medicine has made great strides in the last 30 years, and this milestone case represents an important forward step as we advance the access and treatment of coronary artery and other vascular diseases,” stated Martin Leon, M.D., Founder of the Cardiovascular Research Foundation.

“We have made significant progress in early evaluations of remote procedures, showing the feasibility and benefit that telerobotics can provide to patients globally. We were pleased to be a part of the first live transmission of a telerobotic procedure which highlighted the advancements that we have made in collaboration with our clinical partners,” said Mark Toland, President and CEO of Corindus. “We will continue advancing remote technology to transform the care model for patients with conditions where time to treatment and access to skilled specialists are paramount.”

Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) is the world’s largest and most important educational meeting specializing in interventional cardiovascular medicine. For 30 years, TCT has been the center of cutting-edge educational content, showcasing the latest advances in current therapies and clinical research. The symposium is designed for interventional cardiologists, radiologists, clinical cardiologists, scientists, vascular medicine specialists, cardiac and vascular surgeons, nurse practitioners, cath lab technicians, and other healthcare professionals with a special interest in the field of interventional and vascular medicine.

About Corindus Vascular Robotics, Inc.

Corindus Vascular Robotics, Inc. is a global technology leader in robotic-assisted vascular interventions. The company’s CorPath^® System is the first FDA-cleared medical device to bring robotic precision to percutaneous coronary and vascular procedures. During the procedure, the interventional cardiologist sits at a radiation-shielded workstation to advance guide catheters, stents, and guidewires with millimeter-by-millimeter precision. The workstation allows the physician greater control and the freedom from wearing heavy lead protective equipment that causes musculoskeletal injuries. CorPath GRX is the second generation robotic-assisted technology offering enhancements to the platform by adding important key upgrades that increase precision, improve workflow, and extend the capabilities and range of procedures that can be performed robotically. With the CorPath System, Corindus Vascular Robotics brings robotic precision to interventional procedures to help optimize clinical outcomes and minimize the costs associated with complications of improper stent placement during manual procedures.
