About
Bart Maesen is a leading cardiothoracic surgeon whose research focuses on the surgical management of atrial fibrillation (AF) and minimally invasive coronary revascularization. His major contributions lie in pioneering combined, less invasive procedures for patients with both AF and coronary artery disease. Notably, his work on "Unilateral left-sided thoracoscopic ablation of atrial fibrillation concomitant to minimally invasive bypass grafting of the left anterior descending artery" (2022, 12 citations) demonstrates a safe and effective alternative to traditional sternotomy, reducing surgical trauma. Maesen’s research has been instrumental in advancing hybrid and thoracoscopic approaches, showing that complex dual pathologies can be addressed through a single, minimally invasive incision. His work is highly cited for its clinical impact, offering patients faster recovery and fewer complications. A recognized innovator in the field, Maesen continues to shape best practices in arrhythmia surgery and robotic-assisted coronary bypass, making him a key figure for students and researchers interested in the future of less invasive cardiac surgery.
