About
Shaune Quismundo is a pioneering cardiac surgeon whose work has redefined the boundaries of minimally invasive coronary revascularization. His research centers on robotic-assisted, beating-heart totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass (TECAB) and hybrid revascularization strategies. Quismundo’s major contribution lies in demonstrating the feasibility and safety of performing complex coronary bypass procedures without cardiopulmonary bypass or large incisions. His landmark study on 150 patients undergoing bilateral internal thoracic artery grafting through lateral thoracotomy with robotic assistance (120 citations) established a new benchmark for multi-vessel minimally invasive surgery. He further advanced the field by reporting 164 consecutive beating-heart TECAB cases without intraoperative conversion (47 citations), proving the technique’s reliability. Quismundo also pioneered the first planned simultaneous hybrid procedure, integrating beating-heart TECAB with percutaneous intervention in a single operative setting (10 citations). Despite these achievements, his work critically examines the slow adoption of TECAB, questioning its future while championing its potential to reduce morbidity. With over 200 total citations, Quismundo remains a visionary voice in robotic cardiac surgery, inspiring a generation of surgeons to push the limits of what is possible.
