About

Ben Waldau is a pioneering neurointerventional surgeon whose research focuses on robotic-assisted cerebral angiography and carotid artery stenting. His major contributions lie in demonstrating the safety, feasibility, and procedural precision of robotic systems in neurointervention—work that aims to reduce occupational radiation exposure for clinicians and pave the way for future remote teleoperation. In his landmark multicenter study, “Robotic Diagnostic Cerebral Angiography: A Multicenter Experience of 113 Patients” (2023, 10 citations), Waldau and colleagues provided the largest evidence base to date supporting robotic assistance in diagnostic cerebral angiography, establishing a critical benchmark for the field. He further advanced the technique with a detailed technical guide to robotic-assisted carotid angioplasty and stenting using the Corindus CorPath GRX system (2024, 1 citation), offering step-by-step procedural protocols that enhance reproducibility and training. Waldau’s work is notable for bridging engineering and clinical practice, directly addressing the occupational hazards of interventional radiology while maintaining high procedural accuracy. His research is foundational for the growing adoption of robotics in neurointervention, positioning him as a key figure in the evolution toward safer, more precise, and potentially remotely deliverable stroke care.
