About

Ali Fatehi Hassanabad is a leading cardiovascular researcher whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive cardiac surgery. His primary research areas focus on advancing surgical techniques for mitral valve repair and coronary revascularization, with a particular emphasis on robotic-assisted and transapical off-pump interventions. His most impactful contribution is a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis on robot-assisted mitral valve repair, which has garnered 19 citations and provided critical evidence on the safety and efficacy of this approach compared to traditional sternotomy and minithoracotomy. Hassanabad has also authored a narrative review on the current state of minimally invasive mitral valve surgery and a seminal review on transapical off-pump mitral valve intervention with NeoChord implantation, both of which have been widely cited. His work includes a single-center study on robotic-assisted reverse hybrid coronary revascularization and an international survey assessing global practices in minimally invasive mitral valve surgery, highlighting his commitment to standardizing care. With a growing citation count and a focus on evidence-based innovation, Hassanabad is a key voice in the evolution of cardiac surgery toward less invasive, patient-centered approaches.
