UnionStrong® News | Technology Beyond Borders, Innovation Across the Globe: UnionStrong® Successfully Completes Its First Overseas Surgery with Remote Robotic Assistance
On October 27 and 28 (local time), neurointerventional physicians at Dr. Sardjito General Hospital (Rumah Sakit Umum Pusat Dr. Sardjito) in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia, successfully performed two endovascular procedures for intracranial aneurysms with remote support from UnionStrong®'s technical team in China.
During the procedures, the UnionStrong® team provided procedural planning and guidance to the overseas physicians through remote communication, while clinical engineers remotely operated the AI Catheter Shaping Robot to perform catheter shaping. In one case involving retreatment of an internal carotid artery aneurysm, the shaped microcatheter was successfully positioned on the first attempt without the assistance of a microwire, creating favorable conditions for subsequent coil embolization.
This achievement demonstrates the clinical value of remote technical collaboration in international healthcare settings and provides valuable experience for the global expansion of China's innovative medical technologies and integrated professional services.
