About
Benedikt Schrage is a leading interventional cardiologist whose research focuses on advancing robotic-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention (rPCI) to improve procedural precision and safety. His major contributions center on demonstrating the feasibility and comparative advantages of robotic systems over traditional manual PCI. In his landmark 2023 study, Schrage provided critical evidence that rPCI using the second-generation CorPath GRX system achieves comparable one-year outcomes to manual PCI, with 16 citations underscoring its influence on clinical practice. His 2022 work, cited 11 times, offers a practical roadmap for establishing rPCI programs at large tertiary centers, addressing both technical challenges and opportunities for treating complex lesions. Schrage’s research has been instrumental in reducing operator radiation exposure while maintaining high procedural success rates, directly impacting the adoption of robotic technology in catheterization labs worldwide. His work at a major tertiary referral center has positioned him as a key figure in the transition toward more precise, less invasive coronary interventions, making him an essential resource for clinicians and researchers exploring the future of robotic cardiology.
