About
Dr. Yoshihiro Morino is a leading interventional cardiologist whose research centers on advancing robotic-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention (R-PCI), with a particular focus on integrating intravascular imaging to improve procedural precision and patient outcomes. His major contributions include demonstrating the safety and feasibility of combining intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guidance with robotic systems, addressing critical issues such as longitudinal geographic miss (LGM) during stent placement. His landmark 2022 study on periprocedural and 30-day outcomes of IVUS-guided R-PCI, cited 16 times, provided early evidence that robotic assistance can achieve high success rates with minimal complications when paired with imaging. Dr. Morino also pioneered the use of coronary intravascular lithotripsy within robotic workflows, expanding treatment options for calcified lesions. His work has been instrumental in bridging the gap between robotic technology and advanced imaging, offering a roadmap for more precise, less invasive coronary interventions. With a growing citation footprint, Dr. Morino’s research is shaping the next generation of PCI, where automation and imaging converge to enhance safety and efficacy for complex coronary artery disease patients.
