About
Dr. Hoda Javadikasgari is a pioneering cardiac surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive and robotic mitral valve surgery. Her major contributions lie in demonstrating the safety, efficacy, and durability of robotic mitral valve repair, particularly for degenerative mitral valve disease. Through landmark studies analyzing large patient cohorts—including the first 1,000 robotic mitral valve cases (174 citations) and 623 cases of posterior leaflet prolapse—she has established that robotic approaches offer outcomes comparable to traditional sternotomy while reducing perioperative morbidity and mortality. Her work has been instrumental in developing standardized, algorithmic approaches to robotic mitral valve repair, making these complex procedures more reproducible and accessible. With a cumulative citation count exceeding 380, Dr. Javadikasgari's research has shaped contemporary surgical practice, providing robust evidence that robotic technology can achieve safe, effective, and durable mitral valve repair. Her comprehensive reviews and technical guides have become essential resources for surgeons adopting these innovative techniques, cementing her reputation as a leading authority in the field of robotic cardiac surgery.
