About

Dr. Jiang Xiong is a pioneering vascular surgeon whose work sits at the intersection of advanced robotics and complex hepatovascular surgery. His primary research focuses on developing and refining robotic-assisted techniques for high-risk procedures, most notably retrohepatic inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombectomy. Dr. Xiong’s landmark 2017 study, which has garnered 61 citations, established the first or second porta hepatis as a critical anatomical boundary for safe and effective robot-assisted thrombectomy—a contribution that has directly informed surgical planning and improved patient outcomes in oncologic cases involving tumor thrombus extension. Beyond this seminal work, Dr. Xiong has also contributed to the broader field by authoring comprehensive reviews on the progress of robotic systems in vascular surgery, including both surgical and endovascular interventional platforms. His efforts have helped chart the course for minimally invasive approaches in a traditionally open-surgery domain. By defining key anatomical landmarks and systematically evaluating emerging technologies, Dr. Xiong continues to shape the future of robotic vascular surgery, offering safer, more precise alternatives for patients facing some of the most challenging vascular procedures.
