| Summary: | Robotic-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention (R-PCI) is an innovative way of performing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) whereby the operator can manipulate coronary intraluminal guidewires and catheter devices by using remotely controlled technology. Performing tele-R-PCI from a remote location via fifth generation network communication technology has never been reported in China; however, if this were possible, the technique could be used to treat many patients with coronary artery disease who would otherwise not have the opportunity of treatment. The case of a 73-year-old male patient with coronary artery disease who underwent successful tele-R-PCI at 800 km from the operators is presented. Performing long-distance tele-R-PCI in patients with coronary artery disease is feasible with predictably successful outcomes when reliable network connectivity and local cardiac catheterization facilities are present. |
