About

Dr. Timo Krings is a pioneering neurointerventional radiologist whose work is redefining the boundaries of precision medicine in endovascular neurosurgery. His primary research focuses on the application of robotic-assisted technology for the treatment of complex neurovascular pathologies, most notably intracranial aneurysms. Dr. Krings led the landmark first-in-human, robotic-assisted neuroendovascular intervention in 2020, a study that has garnered 142 citations and demonstrated the feasibility of using the CorPath GRX Robotic System to enhance procedural accuracy while reducing radiation exposure. He subsequently published the first one-year follow-up data on robotic-assisted aneurysm coiling, confirming durable clinical and imaging outcomes. To further advance the field, Dr. Krings has championed the use of patient-specific 3D-printed models (Biomodex) for pre-surgical simulation, allowing teams to rehearse complex robotic cases before first-in-human procedures. His work not only establishes a new standard for technical precision in neurointervention but also lays the groundwork for remote telerobotic stroke care, positioning him as a visionary leader at the intersection of robotics and cerebrovascular medicine.
