WALTHAM, Mass. -- 

Corindus Vascular Robotics, Inc. (NYSE American: CVRS), a leading developer of precision vascular robotics, announced today that it will sponsor a dinner event during the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) 2018 Scientific Sessions at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego, California. Vascular robotics will be featured throughout the conference in the exhibit hall, presentations, and during the symposium. "Optimizing Care with CorPath GRX: Hot Topics in Robotic Interventions" will take place on Thursday, April 26, from 6:30 – 8:00 p.m. PST in room Harbor G. The symposium, chaired by Douglas Drachman, M.D. of Massachusetts General Hospital, will feature esteemed faculty Paul Campbell, M.D. of Carolinas HealthCare System NorthEast, William Lombardi, M.D. of the University of Washington, and Sunil Rao, M.D. of Duke University Medical Center. Presentations will highlight Rotate on Retract (RoR), the first smart procedural automation in the technIQ™ Series designed for the CorPath GRX platform. RoR allows the operator to quickly navigate to a targeted lesion by automatically rotating the guidewire upon joystick retraction, redirecting the tip for the next advancement.

Dr. Paul Campbell, Carolinas HealthCare System NorthEast, stated, "Rotate on Retract is proving to be a very useful and intuitive tool. During my first cases with RoR enabled, the predictable wire rotations assisted in navigating to difficult lesions and showed the potential to reduce procedure time. I look forward to sharing my clinical experience using RoR with my peers."

Space for the symposium is limited. For more information and to register for the symposium, please visit www.corindus.com/SCAI2018.

To take advantage of an exclusive opportunity to use the CorPath GRX System with an advanced simulator and smart procedural automation, register here and visit Corindus at booth #506.

About Corindus Vascular Robotics, Inc.

Corindus Vascular Robotics, Inc. is a global technology leader in robotic-assisted vascular interventions. The company's CorPath® System is the first FDA-cleared medical device to bring robotic precision to percutaneous coronary and percutaneous vascular procedures. During the procedure, the interventional cardiologist sits at a radiation-shielded workstation to advance guide catheters, stents, and guidewires with millimeter-by-millimeter precision. The workstation allows the physician greater control and the freedom from wearing heavy lead protective equipment that causes musculoskeletal injuries. CorPath GRX is the second generation robotic-assisted PCI technology offering enhancements to the platform by adding important key upgrades that increase precision, improve workflow, and extend the capabilities and range of procedures that can be performed robotically. With the CorPath System, Corindus Vascular Robotics brings robotic precision to interventional procedures to help optimize clinical outcomes and minimize the costs associated with complications of improper stent placement during manual procedures. Corindus stands behind its product with its unique $1,000 hospital credit "One Stent Program." For additional information, visit www.corindus.com, and follow @CorindusInc.
