The world-class interventional cardiologist Dr. Tejas Patel, who had seen a great success in his life has led a party at Apex Heart Institute in Ahmedabad to remove blockages in the heart using robotics. This became the first ever outside the United States to use the CorPath GRX System for the removal of blockages in arteries of the heart. He announced the first commercial installation of Vascular Robotics system.
Dr. Patel who also had the partner, Dr. Shah has driven almost 50 surgeries using robots and says that robots will give more precision and minimize complications. Apex Heart Institute in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, is a state-of-art cardiology center and now it would also be the first “Global Center of Excellence” outside the USA.
“Recently, Corindus announced that it is working with US-based Mayo Clinic in a pre-clinical study about the use of remote robotic treatment which may enable cardiologists to conduct coronary procedures from virtually any location, leading to more patients receiving benefits of the life-saving procedure. This premise, whenever it fructifies in near future, is highly promising especially for a country like India as it may allow us to surmount the scarcity of specialist doctors and give high-quality care to patients in remote areas,” said Dr. Patel.
President and CEO of Corindus, Mark Toland said, “Dr. Patel is a global leader in interventional cardiology which makes him a perfect partner to pioneer robotics globally and leads training and research initiatives. India is known for being at the forefront of innovation and healthcare yet significant challenges exist given the large and growing population with many patients too remote to receive timely access to care.”
