About

Alyssa Morrison is a pioneering cardiothoracic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive, robotic-assisted mitral valve repair. Her major contributions are documented in a series of landmark studies from the Yale experience, where she has refined totally endoscopic, robotic-assisted techniques for complex and high-risk patient populations. Her most cited paper, "Two hundred robotic mitral valve repair procedures for degenerative mitral regurgitation: the Yale experience" (2022, 13 citations), establishes the safety and efficacy of this approach, demonstrating enhanced technical dexterity and superior visualization compared to traditional surgery. Morrison has further expanded the boundaries of robotic surgery by tackling previously contraindicated cases. Her work on "Redo mitral valve surgery: A totally endoscopic, robotic-assisted approach for adhesiolysis and complex repair" (2022, 2 citations) provides a novel technique for patients with prior sternotomies, while her case report on "Totally endoscopic, robotic-assisted mitral valve repair after transcatheter aortic valve replacement" (2023, 1 citation) showcases a groundbreaking approach for an 86-year-old patient with multiple comorbidities, including porcelain aorta. Though early in her career, Morrison’s focused, high-impact contributions are defining a new standard of care for complex mitral valve disease, offering hope to patients previously deemed inoperable.
