About
Dr. Alma Fregoso is a leading investigator in interventional cardiology, with a focused expertise in evaluating the clinical and economic outcomes of advanced coronary procedures. Her most cited work, "Resource Utilization During Elective Robotic-Assisted Percutaneous Coronary Intervention" (2020), represents a pivotal contribution to the field. In this study, Dr. Fregoso rigorously compared the cost and resource utilization of robotic-assisted PCI (R-PCI) against traditional manual PCI for treating obstructive coronary artery disease. Her findings provide critical, data-driven insights into the economic viability of robotic technology, demonstrating that while clinical outcomes are comparable, the procedural costs and resource demands differ significantly. This research is essential for hospital administrators and clinicians navigating the adoption of costly new technologies. With 6 citations, this paper serves as a foundational reference for health economics in interventional cardiology. Dr. Fregoso’s work directly informs value-based care decisions, helping to balance innovation with fiscal responsibility. Her research is vital for students and practitioners seeking to understand the real-world implications of integrating robotics into cardiovascular medicine.
