Corindus Announces First Robotic-Assisted Interventions in Japan for CorPath GRX Post-Market Study

“The acceptance of robotic-assisted PCI in Japan is an important next step for Corindus to bring this critical medical advancement to additional markets across the globe. Japan represents one of the largest markets for PCI globally, with over 1,200 hospitals performing nearly 250,000 PCI procedures annually,” said Mark Toland, President and Chief Executive Officer of Corindus Vascular Robotics. “We are thrilled to have partnered with Dr. Ueno, Kurume University Hospital, and Japan Medicalnext to launch the first vascular robotic program in Japan, offering these patients the benefits of robotic-assisted PCI.”

This is the first CorPath GRX System placed by the Company’s Japanese distribution partner, Japan Medicalnext Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned entity of MC Healthcare, Inc. (a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Corporation), following the launch of a partnership in 2017.

“After completing the first cases with CorPath GRX, I am impressed with the capabilities of the system, including the level of precision and control during complex procedures,” stated Dr. Ueno. “Robotics will provide Japan with cutting-edge technology in interventional medicine, and we are pleased to be one of the first facilities in the Asia-Pacific region to offer this treatment to our patients,” Dr. Ueno added.
