About
Samir Pancholy is a pioneering interventional cardiologist whose research has fundamentally advanced the field of robotic-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention (R-PCI) and cardiac telehealth. Best known for his groundbreaking 2019 first-in-human report on long-distance tele-robotic-assisted PCI, which has garnered over 150 citations, Pancholy demonstrated that life-saving coronary interventions could be performed remotely — a transformative concept with profound implications for patients in underserved and geographically isolated communities. His subsequent comparative study of robotic versus traditional PCI, cited over 70 times, provided critical evidence that R-PCI offers meaningful benefits for both operators and patients, strengthening the clinical case for broader adoption. Pancholy has also contributed valuable insights into the practical challenges of implementing robotic PCI programs, including investigations into the learning curve that may explain why utilization of the technology remains limited despite its 16-year availability in the United States. Through his body of work, Pancholy has positioned himself as a leading voice in the convergence of interventional cardiology, robotics, and telemedicine, helping to shape a future where advanced cardiac care transcends geographic barriers.
