About

Joshua Newman is a pioneering cardiothoracic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive and hybrid approaches to coronary revascularization. His major contributions lie in refining hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR)—a technique combining percutaneous coronary intervention with robotic-assisted surgical bypass—to treat multi-vessel coronary artery disease. His landmark study, "Ten-Year Outcomes of Hybrid Coronary Revascularization at a Single Center," with 3 citations, provides critical long-term evidence on the durability and efficacy of HCR, addressing a key gap in the literature regarding optimal timing of surgical versus percutaneous components. Newman also developed the technical guide "How to Robotically Take Down a Mammary Artery," a foundational resource for surgeons mastering robotic internal mammary artery harvesting. His work has been instrumental in demonstrating that HCR offers comparable outcomes to traditional bypass while reducing invasiveness, recovery time, and morbidity. By systematically evaluating decade-long patient outcomes, Newman has helped establish HCR as a viable, evidence-based alternative for complex coronary disease, influencing surgical protocols and training. His research continues to shape the future of hybrid cardiac surgery, bridging the gap between interventional cardiology and robotic-assisted techniques.
