About
Eila Rivera is a pioneering researcher in neurointerventional robotics, with a focused expertise in endovascular stroke treatment and robotic-assisted mechanical thrombectomy. Her groundbreaking work centers on evaluating the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of robot-assisted endovascular procedures compared to traditional manual techniques—a critical area for expanding access to time-sensitive stroke care. Rivera’s most influential study, the Core-Flow project (2024, 9 citations), systematically modeled robotic-assisted thrombectomy using the CorPath GRX system, demonstrating that robotic devices could enable experienced neurointerventionalists to perform remote clot retrieval with comparable outcomes to manual approaches. Her earlier comparative in vitro study (2023, 2 citations) laid essential groundwork by establishing the procedural viability of robot-assisted EVT, addressing the pressing need to bring specialized stroke treatment to patients in remote or underserved locations. Through these contributions, Rivera is helping to shape a future where geographic barriers no longer determine stroke survival, advancing the translational pathway from benchtop models to clinical adoption. Her work stands at the intersection of robotics, vascular neurology, and health equity, marking her as a rising leader in the effort to democratize access to life-saving neurointerventional care.
