About
Dr. Bor-Chih Cheng is a pioneering cardiac surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive and robotic-assisted cardiac procedures. His major contributions lie in demonstrating the safety and feasibility of robotic mitral valve replacements (MVR) using bioprosthetic valves, as evidenced by his landmark study of 52 patients at a tertiary referral hospital (19 citations). This work addresses the growing demand for less invasive alternatives to conventional sternotomy. Dr. Cheng has also expanded the boundaries of robotic surgery to treat complex conditions, including the first reported robot-assisted endoscopic removal of a huge tricuspid valve myxoma (5 citations) and robotic septal myectomy for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (5 citations). His expertise extends to robotic totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass for rare pathologies like isolated ostial stenosis of the left coronary artery (3 citations) and anomalous origin of the right coronary artery (2 citations). Collectively, his research has garnered over 35 citations, establishing him as a key figure in the evolution of robotic cardiac surgery, offering patients safer, less invasive options for life-threatening conditions.
