Delray Medical Center is the first hospital in the United States to perform the first robotic-assisted peripheral vascular intervention procedure using the CorPath GRX System. The procedure, performed by Dr. Joseph Ricotta, Medical Director of Vascular Surgery and Endovascular Therapy for Tenet Healthcare, is the first American use of this technology and brings robotic-assisted precision to both percutaneous coronary and percutaneous vascular interventional procedures.
“This technology and the availability of this procedure will have significant benefits for those suffering from peripheral artery disease,” said Dr. Ricotta. “Advances in cardiac care like this will also help those in our community who are dealing with the effects on a daily basis, and will help them have a more productive and active life.”
