About
Dr. Fleur Sampon is a pioneering cardiothoracic surgeon whose work is redefining minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting. Her research centers on developing and refining techniques that reduce surgical trauma while maintaining the gold standard of revascularization. Dr. Sampon’s major contribution is the advancement of thoracoscopic-assisted, minimally invasive coronary artery bypass (TECAB) and the non-robotic endoscopic harvest of the internal mammary artery (IMA). Her 2024 propensity-matched analysis, with 10 citations, provides critical evidence that these less invasive approaches can match the safety and efficacy of traditional off-pump bypass for single-vessel disease. Furthermore, her 2025 historical review, cited twice, revitalizes interest in the non-robotic endoscopic IMA harvest technique—a method pioneered in the 1990s that she champions for its accessibility and reproducibility, making advanced minimally invasive surgery more widely available. By demonstrating that these techniques reduce chest wall trauma and improve patient recovery without compromising outcomes, Dr. Sampon is shaping the future of cardiac surgery, offering hope for less invasive, more patient-friendly procedures.
