About

Jen-Wei Chen is a pioneering cardiac surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive approaches to complex heart valve procedures. His research has significantly shaped the evolution of robotic and endoscopic cardiac surgery, particularly in the challenging domain of combined aortic and mitral valve repair. Chen’s landmark study, "Outcomes of robotic and endoscopic combined aortic and mitral valve surgery: experience from National Taiwan University Hospital," published in 2025, has already garnered 4 citations, underscoring its immediate impact on surgical practice. In this work, he demonstrated that the lateral approach—leveraging robotic and endoscopic technologies—provides superior visualization and reduces surgical trauma, enabling safer, more effective outcomes for patients undergoing double-valve procedures. By systematically documenting the feasibility and benefits of these techniques, Chen has helped establish a new standard for complex cardiac interventions, offering patients faster recovery and fewer complications. His contributions are particularly notable for bridging the gap between traditional open-heart surgery and cutting-edge robotic innovation, making him a leading voice in the field. For students and researchers, Chen’s work exemplifies how rigorous clinical investigation can transform surgical paradigms, improving both technique and patient quality of life.
