About

Dr. Azeem Latib is a leading interventional cardiologist whose research has fundamentally shaped the landscape of transcatheter structural heart interventions. His work is centered on advancing minimally invasive techniques, with a particular focus on transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), mitral and tricuspid valve therapies, and the emerging role of robotics in cardiovascular medicine. Dr. Latib’s major contributions include pioneering the use of novel transcatheter devices and refining procedural techniques to treat high-risk patients who were previously deemed inoperable. His highly cited paper, “Current and future applications of robotics in structural heart interventions,” highlights his forward-looking approach, analyzing the slow but steady integration of robotic systems into transcatheter procedures—a field he continues to help define. With thousands of citations across his body of work, Dr. Latib’s impact is evident in the widespread adoption of the techniques he helped validate. He is also a prolific educator and has been instrumental in training the next generation of interventionalists, solidifying his reputation as a visionary in the field of structural heart disease.
