Several professional societies and academic bodies issued statements to provide recommendations for a systematic approach for the care of patients with an AMI during the COVID-19 pandemic and maximize the safety of medical personnel by appropriate masking of patients and the use of personal protection equipment (PPE). 2, 3 Robotic-assisted percutaneous coronary interventions (R-PCI) can provide an additional layer of protection to the healthcare personnel involved in the management of patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 and require urgent or emergent coronary intervention. The safety of R-PCI was evaluated in the PRECISE (Percutaneous Robotically Enhanced Coronary Intervention) trial in which procedural success was seen in 162 out of 164 patients. ./cache/cord-301579-q23nhmgs.txt ./txt/cord-301579-q23nhmgs.txt
