About

Dr. Krishan Kant Sharma is a pioneering cardiac surgeon whose research has fundamentally advanced the field of minimally invasive and robotically enhanced heart surgery. His work focuses on developing techniques that reduce surgical trauma, moving away from traditional open-heart procedures toward totally endoscopic approaches. Dr. Sharma’s most influential contribution is his landmark 2006 study on totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass (TECAB) surgery, which demonstrated the feasibility of performing complex coronary revascularization on both beating and arrested hearts using the da Vinci robotic system. This work, cited 17 times, showcased the potential for robotic precision to replace sternotomy. His earlier 2002 study on minimally invasive mitral valve surgery, involving 221 patients and cited 5 times, further solidified his expertise by comparing port-access and transthoracic clamp techniques for robotically controlled valve repair. Through these contributions, Dr. Sharma has helped establish a new paradigm in cardiac surgery, proving that major coronary and valve procedures can be performed with dramatically reduced incisions, shorter recovery times, and less patient trauma. His research continues to inspire the next generation of surgeons to push the boundaries of what is possible in endoscopic cardiac care.
