In 2023, Can Tho S.I.S General Hospital implemented its first robotic system for PCI procedures. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and clinical outcomes during the early learning curve of R-PCI.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This prospective study included all patients undergoing R-PCI with the CorPath GRX Vascular Robotic System at Can Tho S.I.S General Hospital from April to September 2023. Baseline patient characteristics, procedural details, and six-month follow-up data were collected. Primary outcomes included Clinical Success, defined as &amp;lt;30% residual diameter stenosis in the target vessel without major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) during hospitalization (e.g., death, myocardial infarction, target-vessel revascularization, stroke), and robotic success, defined as achieving clinical success with partial manual support or no manual support.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Thirty-one patients (mean age 64.5\u2009\u00b1\u200910 years; 64.5% male) with 37 lesions underwent R-PCI. Robotic success was achieved in 94.6% (35\/37 lesions), comprising 21 lesions (56.8%) performed as full R-PCI and 14 lesions (37.8%) requiring partial manual support (exclusively for IVUS catheter manipulation). Manual conversion occurred in 5.4% due to inadequate guiding-catheter back-up and slow-flow. No MACE occurred during hospitalization; however, one patient died from a stroke during the six-month follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study demonstrates high success rates and minimal complications for R-PCI in its early implementation phase. Nevertheless, the stroke-related death observed during follow-up highlights the need for long-term studies to comprehensively assess R-PCI's safety and efficacy.<\/jats:p>\n
