About
Victor Romo is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of neurovascular intervention and robotic-assisted surgery. His work fundamentally advances how we treat complex cerebrovascular conditions, with a primary focus on endovascular robotics and deep brain stimulation (DBS) targeting. Romo’s landmark study, “Endovascular robotic: feasibility and proof of principle for diagnostic cerebral angiography and carotid artery stenting” (2020, 83 citations), provides the first clinical evidence that robotic platforms like the CorPath GRX can safely perform delicate cerebral procedures, overcoming human physical limitations in precision. This proof-of-concept work has become a foundational reference for the emerging field of neuroendovascular robotics. Additionally, Romo has made significant contributions to functional neurosurgery, particularly in his 2021 study (14 citations) demonstrating how probabilistic tractography can reliably distinguish motor and sensory thalamic nuclei for asleep DBS targeting in essential tremor. This work enhances surgical accuracy and patient outcomes by enabling more precise electrode placement without requiring intraoperative patient feedback. Romo’s research bridges engineering and clinical practice, establishing new standards for minimally invasive, robotically-assisted treatments that promise to expand access to life-changing neurological care.
