About
Basel Musmar is a rising figure in neurointerventional surgery whose work bridges cutting-edge robotic technology and clinical outcomes in vascular neurosurgery. His primary research focuses on the application of robotic systems in carotid artery stenting (CAS), a critical procedure for stroke prevention. In his landmark 2024 multicenter study, Musmar led the first propensity score–matched analysis comparing robotic versus manual CAS, demonstrating that robotic-assisted procedures not only achieve comparable safety profiles but also offer superior cost-effectiveness. This work, already garnering 4 citations in its first year, provides the first real-world evidence supporting the economic and clinical viability of robotic CAS—a finding with profound implications for healthcare systems seeking to optimize resource allocation without compromising patient outcomes. By quantifying both clinical metrics and procedural costs, Musmar has positioned himself at the forefront of value-based neurointervention. His research is particularly notable for its translational impact, directly informing debates about the adoption of robotic platforms in vascular surgery. For students and researchers, Musmar’s work exemplifies how rigorous comparative effectiveness research can guide the integration of emerging technologies into standard practice, making him a key voice in the future of minimally invasive stroke care.
