About
Dr. Hekmat Zarzour is a pioneering neurosurgeon whose research bridges the frontiers of robotic technology and cerebrovascular disease management. His primary contributions lie in demonstrating the feasibility and safety of endovascular robotics for complex neurological procedures. In his landmark 2020 study, which has garnered 83 citations, Dr. Zarzour provided the first proof-of-principle for using the CorPath GRX robotic platform in diagnostic cerebral angiography and carotid artery stenting. This work established a critical foundation for enhancing procedural precision and reducing radiation exposure in neurointervention. Beyond robotics, Dr. Zarzour has authored influential perspectives on the evolving role of the neurosurgeon as a stroke specialist, advocating for expanded neurosurgical involvement in acute stroke care to improve patient outcomes. His research directly addresses the immense public health burden of stroke, which affects nearly 800,000 Americans annually. By validating robotic-assisted techniques and redefining neurosurgical responsibilities in stroke management, Dr. Zarzour’s work is shaping the future of minimally invasive, technology-driven neurovascular care.
