New data announced at the 2018 Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) conference, Sept. 21-25 in San Diego, reinforce the safety, durability and consistency of the In.Pact Admiral drug-coated balloon (DCB) in real-world patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Three-year real-world results from the full clinical cohort of the IN.PACT Global Study and one-year data from the Total IN.PACT pooled imaging and propensity analyses were presented at the TCT conference and the Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe (CIRSE) annual meeting, Sept. 22-26 in Lisbon, Portugal, respectively.
Corindus Vascular Robotics Inc. announced the first live transmission of a remote interventional procedure using the company’s CorPath platform was performed at the Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) conference in San Diego on Sept. 22, 2018. The remote interventional procedure was broadcast live from Mayo Clinic to the TCT Main Arena. Utilizing CorPath GRX with developmental remote technology, combined with a telecommunications system to enable communication with the bedside staff, the operator at Mayo Clinic had the ability to remotely manipulate interventional devices within a porcine model's arteries while located in a different building.
