Interventional cardiologist Dr Ganesh Kumar of Hiranandani Hospital teamed up with Rafael Beyar and other eminent
international members, including Tal Wenderow, Doron Lindner, and Rona Shofti in Israel to develop and test the world’s first robotic equipment for angioplasty that allows remote manipulation of Percutaneous Coronary Interventions (PCI).

The pilot study has been just concluded on 15 patients with stable angina pectoris and a typical risk of coronary heart
disease with 100 per cent clinical success and technical results in over 92 per cent of cases. The study concluded that
remote navigation system for coronary interventions including balloon angioplasty and stenting is feasible. The current
Remote Navigation System (RNS) is the first clinically-oriented system for remote manipulation of PCI and allows full
navigaton of coronary wires and devices in parallel, allowing operation in a standardised catheterisation

This robotic remote control PCI system not only helps patients avail services of their preferred doctors over large distances, but also helps physicians operate in an X-Ray-free and relaxed environment with lesser chances of spinal risk, thereby increasing the abilityof the operator to deal with long procedural hours.

  
 
 
   
     
 
Coronary angioplasty is a technique forunblocking arteries carrying blood to the heart muscle.A small balloon at the tip of a catheter tube is inserted via an artery in the groin or arm and guided to the blocked heart artery.It is then inflated and removed, leaving in place a 'stent' a rigid support which squashes the fatty deposit blocking the artery, allowing blood to flow more easily.Primary angioplasty is the use of this technique as the main or first treatment for patients suffering a heart attack.
This robotic remote control PCI system
not only helps patients avail services of
their preferred doctors over large
distances, but also helps physicians
operate in an X-Ray-free and relaxed
environment with lesser chances of
spinal risk, thereby increasing the ability
of the operator to deal with long
procedural hours.In contrast to the present
angioplasty process that requires two
cardiologists,the robotic remote control
procedure can be conducted without need
of assistants- making the process
