About

Charocka Coleman is a pioneering cardiac surgeon whose work has redefined the boundaries of minimally invasive coronary revascularization. Her primary research focuses on robotic off-pump totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass (TECAB), a technique she has championed to reduce surgical trauma and accelerate patient recovery. Coleman’s landmark study of 544 patients, cited 47 times, established the safety and efficacy of robotic TECAB in the modern era, demonstrating fewer complications and shorter hospital stays. She further advanced the field by developing the first fast-track discharge protocol for robotic bypass patients, enabling discharge on postoperative day one—a breakthrough in Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) that earned 15 citations. Her decade-long follow-up study of beating-heart TECAB, with 14 citations, provides compelling evidence of long-term durability, while her work on bilateral internal thoracic artery grafting, cited 6 times, offers a sternal-sparing solution for high-risk diabetic and obese patients. With over 1100 robotic procedures analyzed in her multi-spectrum outcomes study (30 citations), Coleman has proven that robotic cardiac surgery is not just feasible but superior. Her innovative unroofing technique for myocardial bridging, though newly published, signals her relentless pursuit of less invasive solutions. Coleman’s cumulative impact—over 100 citations—positions her as a transformative force in cardiac surgery, inspiring a future where coronary bypass is truly endoscopic.
