About

Dr. Hanne Oosterbos is a pioneering cardiothoracic surgeon whose work is redefining the landscape of minimally invasive coronary revascularization. Her primary research focus is the advancement and optimization of totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass grafting (TECAB), a technically demanding procedure that offers patients a less invasive alternative to traditional open-heart surgery. Her landmark study, "Totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass grafting: experience in 1500 patients," stands as one of the largest single-center experiences with a non-robotic TECAB technique, demonstrating its feasibility and safety on a significant scale. This work has been cited 8 times, establishing a crucial benchmark for surgeons worldwide and addressing a critical gap in the literature. Dr. Oosterbos’s major contribution lies in her systematic refinement of this complex procedure, proving that high-volume, reproducible TECAB outcomes are achievable without robotic assistance. Her dedication to pushing the boundaries of surgical innovation is not only reducing recovery times and trauma for patients but is also shaping the future of interventional cardiology.
