About

Claus C. Pieper is a pioneering interventional radiologist whose work is reshaping the landscape of image-guided and microsurgical procedures. His primary research focus lies in the development and clinical application of robotic assistance systems, spanning from percutaneous CT-guided punctures to complex central lymphatic reconstruction. Pieper’s major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility of a novel robotic needle guide for CT-guided bone biopsies, a foundational study that has garnered 24 citations and opened the door to more precise, minimally invasive interventions. He has further advanced the field by investigating the CorPath GRX system’s impact on the learning curve for endovascular interventions, providing critical insights into how operator experience influences robotic adaptation. Notably, his work on robotic-assisted lymphovenous anastomosis of the central lymphatic system represents a groundbreaking application of microsurgical robots to treat congenital and post-surgical lymphatic flow disorders. With over 38 citations across his most influential papers, Pieper is a leading voice in robotic interventional radiology, consistently pushing the boundaries of precision, safety, and training in minimally invasive medicine.
