Article Title: First in California: Using robotic assisted stenting

Wah, wah, wah! Cool, cool cool. Robots used for surgeries? Been at use for a while, but they used it for actual stenting. Well, I'm sure they've done it already, but this is the first time they've done it in California. A cardiology team at UC San Diego have been the first to use a surgical robot to place a stent in a patient with Coronary Artery Disease. The robot acts like an extra hand and holds the devices in place. Really helpful, saves money, and lowers the margin of error!
