About

Dr. Bingbing Ma is a pioneering cardiothoracic surgeon whose research focuses on minimally invasive cardiac surgery, particularly the thoracoscopic repair of congenital heart defects. Dr. Ma’s major contribution lies in advancing the technique of atrial septal defect (ASD) closure in perfused beating hearts, a method that eliminates the need for cardiopulmonary arrest and reduces surgical trauma. Their landmark study, which has garnered 5 citations since 2024, provides the largest single-center analysis of mid- to long-term outcomes for 856 patients who underwent this procedure without robotic assistance, spanning over 14 years of clinical experience. This work demonstrates exceptional safety and efficacy, positioning Dr. Ma as a leader in non-robotic, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. By refining these techniques, Dr. Ma has significantly improved recovery times and reduced complications for patients with structural heart disease. Their research continues to shape best practices in minimally invasive cardiac surgery, offering a scalable and accessible alternative to robotic approaches for high-volume centers worldwide.
