About

Dr. Felix Hofmann is a leading interventional cardiologist whose research focuses on advancing robotic-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention (R-PCI) to improve outcomes for patients with coronary artery disease. His work has been instrumental in characterizing the real-world application of robotic systems in the cardiac catheterization lab. Dr. Hofmann’s major contributions include a comprehensive review of the latest developments in robotic PCI, which documented the field’s evolution from early angiograms to modern, precision-driven procedures, highlighting a substantial decline in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. He also led a pivotal multi-center study investigating the predictors of manual support during R-PCI, providing critical insights into when and why operators must convert from robotic to manual technique—a key factor for procedural safety and training. With his most-cited works accumulating early but impactful citations, Dr. Hofmann is recognized for defining the practical boundaries of robotic intervention. His research is essential reading for clinicians and engineers seeking to understand the current capabilities and future directions of automated cardiovascular care.
