About
Dr. Breno Boueri Affonso is a pioneering interventional cardiologist and endovascular surgeon whose research focuses on the safety, feasibility, and expansion of robotic-assisted vascular interventions. His most impactful work, a prospective study on introducing a robotic-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) program in a tertiary center (9 citations), provides critical evidence that this novel technology can be safely and effectively adopted by experienced teams, addressing a key barrier to its widespread clinical use. Dr. Affonso has also pushed the boundaries of the field by demonstrating the application of robotic assistance to complex peripheral procedures, as shown in his case report on the robot-assisted endovascular treatment of a hepatic artery aneurysm (2 citations). This work highlights the expanding versatility of robotic platforms beyond coronary arteries into challenging visceral and splanchnic territories. By rigorously documenting both the programmatic implementation and novel anatomical applications of robotic endovascular surgery, Dr. Affonso is helping to define the future of minimally invasive, remotely operated interventions, making significant contributions to procedural safety and the potential for broader patient access to advanced care.
