About

Adriano Caixeta is a leading interventional cardiologist whose research focuses on robotic-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and strategies to enhance procedural safety. His major contributions center on demonstrating the feasibility and effectiveness of introducing robotic PCI programs in experienced tertiary centers, showing that this technology can be safely adopted without compromising patient outcomes. Notably, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Caixeta pioneered the use of robotic assistance to minimize air exposure and physical proximity between healthcare teams and patients, addressing critical occupational hazards. His prospective studies, including a pilot study on robotic assistance to reduce proximity and air-sharing during cardiovascular interventions, have garnered attention for their practical implications in infection control and radiation safety. With his most-cited works accumulating citations in the single digits—reflecting the niche but growing interest in robotic cardiology—Caixeta’s research is shaping the future of minimally invasive, safer interventional practices. His work stands out for its timely response to global health challenges, positioning him as a key figure in the evolution of robotic-assisted cardiovascular care.
