About
Sandeep Nathan is a pioneering cardiac surgeon whose work has fundamentally advanced minimally invasive coronary revascularization, with a particular focus on robotic totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass grafting (TECAB) and hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR). His research has consistently pushed the boundaries of sternal-sparing surgery, championing multiarterial grafting strategies that eliminate the need for traditional open-chest approaches while maintaining rigorous standards of completeness of revascularization. Nathan's most cited work, examining right internal mammary artery use in 140 robotic TECAB cases (49 citations), established a framework for routine bilateral arterial grafting in an endoscopic setting — a technically demanding achievement that few programs have replicated. His subsequent investigations into hybrid revascularization, integrating robotic bypass with percutaneous coronary intervention, have accumulated over 90 additional citations, collectively demonstrating durable midterm outcomes for complex multivessel disease. Notably, he reported the world's first robotic beating-heart quadruple TECAB, achieving complete revascularization with a residual SYNTAX score of zero. His decade-spanning exploration of both standard and reverse hybrid strategies reflects a career dedicated to individualized, patient-centered surgical innovation. Nathan's contributions represent some of the most clinically significant advances in minimally invasive cardiac surgery of the past decade.
