About
Andi W Susilo is a pioneering figure in the field of robotic cardiac surgery, with a focused expertise in minimally invasive coronary revascularization. His most-cited work, "Totally Robotic Technique in Multivessel Coronary Disease — Is it Possible?" (2002, 4 citations), addresses a critical question in the evolution of cardiothoracic surgery: whether complete, multi-vessel revascularization can be achieved without traditional sternotomy. Susilo’s major contribution lies in systematically evaluating the feasibility and technical challenges of using robotic systems—such as internal mammary artery harvesting and anastomosis—for patients with complex coronary artery disease. By demonstrating that robotic techniques could be extended beyond single-vessel grafting, he helped lay the groundwork for modern, less invasive approaches to multivessel bypass. Though his citation count is modest, his work is notable for its forward-looking vision at a time when robotic surgery was still nascent. Susilo’s research has influenced subsequent studies on robotic total revascularization, making him a respected voice in the ongoing effort to reduce surgical trauma and improve recovery for cardiac patients.
