Feasibility and Safety of the ETcath200 Robotic PCI System for Complex Coronary Lesions: A Prospective Single‐Center Study

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background International robotic‐assisted PCI platforms such as CorPath 200 and CorPath GRX have demonstrated procedural safety and efficacy but are limited by the absence of real‐time tactile feedback and cumbersome device exchange. The ETcath200, the first domestically developed robotic PCI system in China, introduces guidewire force‐sensing

Were the older observers in error? It seems unlikely. This article
