About
Dr. Jenna Mandel is a pioneering cardiothoracic surgeon whose research is redefining the landscape of minimally invasive cardiac surgery. Her work centers on advancing robotic techniques to reduce procedural trauma and accelerate patient recovery. Dr. Mandel’s major contributions include demonstrating the safety and efficacy of a novel, ultra-minimally invasive approach for robotic cardiac tumor resection using a single 8-mm working port, a technique detailed in her most-cited work (9 citations). She has also been instrumental in proving the feasibility of discharging patients within one to two days after complex robotic cardiac procedures, challenging traditional recovery timelines. Her investigations into endoaortic balloon occlusion versus transthoracic cross-clamping for robotic mitral valve surgery, as well as her pioneering use of percutaneous axillary cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass, provide critical comparative data that guide surgical decision-making. With a growing body of work that includes early adoption of barbed sutures for robotic mitral valve repair, Dr. Mandel is a leading voice in the push toward safer, faster, and less invasive cardiac surgical care.
