About

Abbey Mulder is a pioneering researcher in interventional cardiology, with a focus on robotic-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and the emerging field of telestenting — the remote delivery of cardiac stenting procedures using robotics and telecommunications technology. Her work has been instrumental in advancing the feasibility and safety of remote cardiac interventions, addressing both clinical and technical challenges that stand between concept and real-world application. Mulder's most influential contribution, the REMOTE-PCI study (2017, 60 citations), provided one of the earliest demonstrations that a physician could successfully perform coronary stenting on a patient in a geographically separate location. Building on this, her investigations into network latency (2019, 45 citations) and long-distance telestenting feasibility (2019, 42 citations) critically examined the technical parameters necessary for safe remote procedures. Her research on physician radiation exposure (2016, 53 citations) highlights an important occupational benefit of robotic PCI systems, demonstrating meaningful dose reduction for operators. Collectively, Mulder's body of work — accumulating over 200 citations — has helped lay the scientific groundwork for a future in which geography no longer limits access to specialized cardiac care.
