Room Considerations for a Telerobotic Angiosuite

Tele-operational robotic systems (telerobotics) enable remote medical procedures and have the potential to bridge critical gaps in care (1). Although medical robotics is not a nascent field, it has advanced greatly, as illustrated by the Da Vinci 5 (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, California), which integrates haptic feedback after years of refinement. Similarly, the Micro Hand S robot (Shandong Wego Surgical Robot, Shandong, China) has demonstrated feasibility in a trans-Pacific telerobotic surgery using animal models (1).
