Robotic Telesurgery Data from Collaboration with Corewell Health™ Accepted for Presentation at the Cardiovascular Research Technologies Annual Meeting
Research Collaboration demonstrates the feasibility of using the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic System between separate and remote facilities in a coronary simulation model
BRAINTREE, Mass., Feb. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Microbot Medical Inc. (Nasdaq: MBOT), developer of the innovative LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic System, today announced its collaboration with Corewell Health™ has reached another meaningful milestone. Under a collaboration agreement, Microbot Medical® and Corewell Health™ are working together to advance robotic telesurgery for endovascular applications. Led by Ryan Madder, M.D., Section Chief of Interventional Cardiology and Director of the Cardiac Cath Lab at Corewell Health™ in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the project assesses the feasibility of using LIBERTY® to perform simulated cardiovascular interventional procedures across two sites within the Corewell Health™ system located 5 miles apart. The research has been accepted for presentation at the Cardiovascular Research Technologies (CRT) annual meeting, being held from March 8-11, 2025, in Washington D.C., and will be published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC) Interventions online edition.
- Abstract/Presentation Title: Feasibility of Telerobotic Coronary Artery Wiring Using A Novel Miniaturized Robotic System: A Pre-clinical Ex Vivo Study
- Presenter: Trisha Gomez, MD
- Presentation Date/Time: Monday, March 10, 2025, 4:12-4:20pm ET.
- Location: Theater #4
“In this study, the LIBERTY® robotic system functioned well in a telerobotic setting. The system’s small footprint and disposable design create a multitude of exciting possibilities for future telerobotic endovascular procedures,” commented Dr. Madder.
“We’re excited that this groundbreaking research, led by Dr. Madder and the Corewell Health team, has been selected for presentation, which we believe reflects the importance of integrating telesurgery in the future of healthcare,” commented Harel Gadot, Chairman, CEO and President. “Incorporating telesurgery capabilities is an important part of our long-term strategy for LIBERTY®, and we are pleased to demonstrate its feasibility. We believe that robotic telesurgery will increase access to high quality healthcare for patients in remote locations in the US and around the world.”
