About
Dr. Jelena Geens is a pioneering cardiothoracic surgeon whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of minimally invasive coronary revascularization. Her primary research focus is the refinement and validation of totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass grafting (TECAB), a technique that offers patients a less traumatic alternative to traditional open-heart surgery. Her landmark study, "Totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass grafting: experience in 1500 patients," represents one of the largest single-center series on non-robotic TECAB, demonstrating its feasibility and safety on a significant scale. This work, which has already garnered 8 citations, provides critical evidence that complex coronary bypass can be performed through small ports, reducing recovery time and surgical trauma. By meticulously documenting outcomes in this extensive patient cohort, Dr. Geens has helped establish TECAB as a viable standard of care, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in cardiac surgery. Her contributions are not merely technical; they represent a paradigm shift toward less invasive, patient-centered surgical solutions, making her a leading voice in the future of coronary artery disease management.
