First-in-Man Robotic-Assisted Renal Denervation

Konstantinos Bermpeis et al. JACC Case Rep. .

Abstract

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of robotic-assisted renal denervation. Robotic-assisted renal denervation represents a new frontier in robotic-assisted percutaneous interventions. Robotic assistance provides increased procedural and technical accuracy while minimizing radiation exposure for both the operators and the patients. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Keywords: RDN, renal denervation; hypertension; peripheral circulation; robotic surgery.
