About

Dr. Hannes Deutschmann is a leading interventional radiologist whose pioneering work focuses on robotic-assisted peripheral vascular interventions, particularly for treating peripheral artery disease (PAD). His major contributions lie in demonstrating the feasibility and safety of robotic platforms for complex endovascular procedures, with a strong emphasis on reducing occupational hazards for clinicians. His landmark 2016 study (91 citations) established the foundational safety and feasibility of robotic peripheral vascular interventions. Building on this, Dr. Deutschmann led the RAPID Study II, which provided critical evidence that robotic-assisted peripheral intervention using drug-coated balloons is not only feasible but also significantly reduces operator radiation exposure—a persistent occupational risk in interventional radiology. This work directly addresses a major challenge in the field by enhancing procedural precision while protecting the health of the interventionist. Through these high-impact studies, Dr. Deutschmann has positioned himself as a key figure in translating robotic technology from the coronary to the peripheral vasculature, paving the way for safer, more precise treatments for patients with PAD and advancing the standard of care in minimally invasive vascular surgery.
