About
Mark Jacoby is a pioneering interventional cardiologist whose research focuses on the intersection of robotics and telecommunication in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). His major contributions center on demonstrating the feasibility of "telestenting"—a groundbreaking approach where a physician operator performs coronary stenting on a patient from a remote location using robotic systems and real-time telecommunications. Jacoby’s most cited work, the REMOTE-PCI study (2017, 60 citations), provides early evidence that robotic PCI can be safely and effectively executed from a distance, potentially expanding access to life-saving procedures in underserved or geographically isolated regions. He also explored the radial approach for robotic PCI, advancing minimally invasive techniques. By proving that an operator need not be physically present in the catheterization lab, Jacoby’s research lays the foundation for a future where expert care can be delivered across vast distances, reducing time-to-treatment and overcoming barriers to specialist availability. His work has significant implications for telemedicine, healthcare equity, and the evolution of robotic-assisted cardiovascular interventions.
