About
Cassidy Duran is a pioneering researcher in the field of endovascular robotics, a specialty that merges minimally invasive vascular surgery with robotic precision. Her work has fundamentally advanced the understanding of how robotic systems can overcome the anatomical challenges of navigating the iliofemoral arteries, as demonstrated in her landmark first-in-man study (62 citations). Duran’s contributions extend from feasibility and safety trials of the Magellan™ Endovascular Robotic System (26 citations) to the development of objective skill assessment metrics using kinematic analysis (23 citations). She has shown that expert surgeons can smoothly control robotic tools even with discrete control interfaces (15 citations), a finding that has implications for training and credentialing. Duran also pioneered the use of C-arm cone beam CT image fusion to maximize robotic versatility (16 citations), and her work on robotic aortic surgery (13 citations) helped establish the foundation for robotic applications in vascular surgery. Through her research, Duran has not only validated the clinical utility of endovascular robotics but also created the frameworks for objectively measuring surgical proficiency, making her a key figure in the transition toward data-driven, robot-assisted vascular interventions.
