About
Marc Gerdisch is a leading cardiothoracic surgeon whose work has significantly advanced the field of minimally invasive valve surgery and complex valve repair. His primary research focuses on developing and validating novel surgical techniques for the mitral and tricuspid valves, with a particular emphasis on improving patient outcomes through less invasive approaches. A landmark contribution is his pioneering work on a novel extracellular matrix (ECM) cylinder reconstruction for tricuspid valve endocarditis, a technique for patients with otherwise irreparable valves, detailed in a highly cited 2014 paper (60 citations). Dr. Gerdisch is also a key contributor to the international Mini-Mitral Registry (MMIR), the largest dataset of its kind. His analyses from this registry have provided critical insights, including a 2023 study (31 citations) demonstrating a direct correlation between aortic cross-clamp time and mortality in minimally invasive mitral surgery, and a 2025 investigation comparing endoscopic versus direct vision approaches. Through these impactful studies, Dr. Gerdisch continues to shape best practices and evidence-based guidelines for modern valve surgery.
