About
Aleksander Dokollari is an emerging cardiac surgeon and clinical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive cardiac surgery, robotic-assisted coronary revascularization, and structural heart disease. His most cited contributions focus on advancing robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), particularly in high-risk and underrepresented patient populations. His 2023 study on long-term clinical outcomes of robotic-assisted coronary revascularization — already accumulating 15 citations — has helped establish the viability of delivering the gold-standard LITA-to-LAD anastomosis to patients previously deemed unsuitable for traditional bypass surgery. Complementing this, his propensity-matched investigation into robotic-assisted off-pump CABG in women (12 citations) addresses a critical gap in sex-specific cardiac surgical outcomes research. Dokollari has also demonstrated clinical courage through challenging case reports involving urgent robotic hybrid revascularization in critically ill, high-STS-score patients. His broader interest in surgical aortic valve replacement reflects a commitment to evolving minimally invasive approaches amid growing competition from transcatheter therapies. Collectively, his work positions him as a thoughtful innovator dedicated to expanding the boundaries of what robotic and minimally invasive cardiac surgery can offer the most vulnerable patients.
