P15 Evaluation of effectiveness and safety of the CorPath® GRX System in endovascular embolization procedures of cerebral aneurysms

Abstract

<h3>Introduction</h3> Robotic assisted endovascular intervention for percutaneous coronary and peripheral interventions has been available for several years. Robotic assisted neurointervention is a recently available technology with exciting future applications in the treatment of neurovascular diseases. <h3>Aim of the Study</h3> The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of robotic-assisted platform Corpath GRX (Corindus Vascular Robotics of Siemens Healthineers, Newton, Massachusetts) for treating cerebral aneurysms. <h3>Methods</h3> This prospective, international, multi-center study enrolled cerebral aneurysm patients with clinical indication for endovascular coil and/or stent-assist coiling embolization. The primary effectiveness endpoint was defined as successful completion of the robotic-assisted endovascular procedure absent any unplanned conversion to manual for guidewire or microcatheternavigation, embolization coil(s) or intracranial stent(s) deployment, or an inability to navigate vessel anatomy. <h3>Results</h3> The study enrolled 113 patients (age 56.1 years, 74.3% females) among 10 international sites. Femoral access was obtained in 60.2% while radial in 38.1% patients. The overall procedure time was 114.3 ± 43.5 min with 52.1 ± 27.3 min fluoroscopy time. Robot-assisted endovascular embolization was successfully completed in 107 patients with 94.7% primary effectiveness success. 5 patients underwent conversion to manual for procedure completion with 1 patient each for cassette and control console malfunction respectively. <h3>Conclusions</h3> Our initial data demonstrates Corpath GRX System for robotic-assisted neurointerventions as effective and achieving high rates of technical success for cerebral aneurysms treatment. <b>Do you have any conflict of interest to declare?</b>: Yes <h3>Conflict of Interest Statement</h3> Corindus Vascular Robotics of Siemens Healthineers, Newton, Massachusetts
