About
Alina M. Grigore is a pioneering figure in the field of robotic cardiac surgery, with a focused expertise in minimally invasive coronary revascularization. Her major contributions center on advancing the safety and feasibility of robotically assisted totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass (TECAB) surgery, a technique that avoids traditional sternotomy. Dr. Grigore’s most cited work, a 2013 paper on the anesthetic management of TECAB (20 citations), provides a critical framework for perioperative care in this complex procedure. She has also explored the application of robotic techniques to challenging pathologies, such as spontaneous coronary artery dissection, and has advocated for robotic surgery as the preferred approach for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Notably, her 2011 case report on robotically assisted coronary endarterectomy demonstrates her willingness to push technical boundaries, addressing diffusely diseased vessels that pose significant challenges in an endoscopic setting. Through these contributions, Dr. Grigore has helped establish robotic surgery as a viable and increasingly preferred alternative to conventional open-heart procedures, impacting both surgical practice and patient recovery.
