About
Carlo de Asmundis is a leading cardiac electrophysiologist whose research focuses on advancing catheter ablation techniques for atrial fibrillation, with particular emphasis on cryoballoon and pulsed field ablation technologies. His major contributions center on improving procedural safety and understanding complications, most notably through his seminal work on phrenic nerve injury—the most common complication of cryoballoon ablation. His 2019 study on robot-assisted thoracoscopic diaphragm plication provided a critical surgical solution for symptomatic diaphragm paralysis, establishing a key clinical pathway for managing this complication. De Asmundis has also pioneered safety evaluations of emerging technologies, as demonstrated by his 2023 investigation using autonomous, robotically-assisted transcranial Doppler to detect microembolic signals during pulsed field ablation—a novel approach to assessing thromboembolic risk. His work, cited over 2,000 times, has shaped international guidelines on ablation safety. A prolific researcher and innovator, de Asmundis continues to push boundaries in minimally invasive arrhythmia management, combining robotic assistance with advanced imaging to reduce procedural risks and improve patient outcomes.
