About
David Wohns is a pioneering interventional cardiologist whose research has significantly advanced the field of robotic-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). His work sits at the intersection of cardiovascular medicine, robotics, and telemedicine, with a particular focus on improving both patient outcomes and physician safety during coronary stenting procedures. Wohns is perhaps best known for his groundbreaking exploration of telestenting — performing coronary interventions remotely using robotics and telecommunications. His landmark REMOTE-PCI study (2017, 60 citations) demonstrated the early feasibility of an operator conducting stenting from a physically separate location, a concept with transformative implications for expanding cardiac care access to underserved communities. Complementing this, his highly cited 2016 study (53 citations) quantified the substantial reductions in physician radiation exposure achievable through robotic systems and protective equipment, addressing a critical occupational health concern for interventional cardiologists. Through multi-center registries including PRECISION and PRECISION GRX, Wohns has contributed robust clinical evidence supporting the safety and efficacy of robotic PCI across diverse patient populations and vascular access approaches. His body of work collectively positions robotic-assisted cardiac intervention as a safer, more scalable future for interventional cardiology.
