Corindus
Vascular Robotics, Inc. (“Corindus” or the “Company”) (NYSE
American: CVRS), a leading developer of precision vascular robotics,
announced today that Chesapeake Regional Healthcare in Chesapeake, VA
has equipped both of its catheterization labs at Chesapeake Regional
Medical Center with CorPath GRX Vascular Robotic Systems, making it the
first hospital in the world to adopt vascular robotic systems in all
vascular intervention treatment rooms. The outfitted labs will allow
physicians to leverage the latest robotic technology for percutaneous
coronary intervention (PCI) and peripheral vascular intervention (PVI)
and provide all patients requiring these procedures at Chesapeake
Regional access to the latest technology in cardiovascular disease care.
“Through a full commitment to our technology, Chesapeake Regional
Medical Center has positioned itself as a premier vascular treatment
facility in the U.S.,” said Mark Toland, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Corindus. “Just a few months after their first CorPath GRX
purchase, strong physician demand led to the purchase of a second
system, offering all of their patients suffering from heart disease the
option of robotic treatment. In addition, more physicians are opting to
treat their patients at Chesapeake Regional to provide them with the
benefits of robotics and the most advanced treatment options available.
We want to congratulate Chesapeake Regional on this landmark achievement
and for embracing robotic-assisted procedures to enhance patient care,”
added Toland.
The multi-system installation addresses the needs and demands of the
physicians, staff, and patients. The center is the first non-academic
hospital in the state of Virginia to launch a vascular robotic program
and perform a robotic-assisted PCI procedure using the CorPath GRX
System, and is the first facility in the world with vascular robotic
capabilities in all catheterization labs. Ronald McKechnie, MD, Medical
Director of the Catheterization Lab at Chesapeake Regional Medical
Center, performed the organization’s first robotic-assisted PCI
procedure on March 18, 2019.
“Since installing our first system, we have taken pride in providing our
patients with access to the most advanced treatment options, while also
providing our physicians and staff protection from the daily
occupational hazards involved with vascular intervention,” said Dr.
McKechnie. “Technological advances like these will not only improve
outcomes for our patients, but also change the landscape for the future
treatment of cardiovascular disease everywhere. Patients are seeking
robotic technology for coronary care and we are thrilled to be a part of
this movement.”
