Gandhinagar: Dr Tejas Patel, A senior Cardiologist made a history from Akshardham, the Swaminarayan temple in Gandhinagar by taking a seat behind a console at the temple complex on Wednesday. From the temple premises Dr Patel performed an angioplasty on a middle aged women, who was in the operating theatre of his Apex hospital, some 32Km away, through the world’s first in human telerobotic coronary intervention.
The procedure was driven by cutting edge technology, was carried out by an Internet enabled robotic arm at the cath lab in the operation theatre which Dr. Patel operated remotely. A team of doctors and paramedics were attending to the patient in the OT, to take care of any eventualities.
Dr Patel said telerobotics is a mix of tele medicine and robotics and has the potential to drastically change the why advance health care is delivered to patients in remote area. Today the patient was 32 km away, tomorrow, using the same technology, it will be possible anywhere in the state, country and world. This has the power to transform coronary interventions in practice and beyond, said Dr Patel after the surgery he said surgeons can cater to patients from anywhere if they are at a facility with a cath lab, a robotic arm and a reliable internet connection.
