Introduction: The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to investigate the safety and feasibility of robotic-assisted carotid endovascular interventions.

Method(s): We conducted a PRISMA-compliant systematic review and meta-analysis. We run an electronic literature search of PubMed, Cochrane CENTRAL, Scopus, and Web of Science to identify the relevant studies. Safety and feasibility data were extracted and analyzed qualitatively. Whenever feasible, meta-analysis was done using StataMP version 17 for macOS.

Result(s): Five studies were included in this study with a total of 80 patients. A total of 37 patients underwent endovascular intervention for extracranial pathology, while 43 were for intracranial pathology. The types of endovascular interventions were transradial and transfemoral approach.

Conclusion(s): Current evidence supports the safety and feasibility of robotic endovascular interventions. Future RCTs are recommended to compare the clinical outcomes of robotic versus nonrobotic interventions.
