Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a frequently used surgical treatment for cardiovascular disease, one of the leading cause of death in the world. In traditional PCI, a doctor navigates a thin guidewire in a patient's vessel toward a target location by looking into live X-ray angiogram images of the patient. Recently, researchers are using reinforcement learning to automate this guidewir...
