About
Laura Giroletti is a pioneering cardiac surgeon whose work is reshaping the treatment of complex arrhythmias and valvular disease through robotic-assisted surgery. Her primary research focuses on hybrid ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation, robotic-assisted mitral valve repair, and minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting. Giroletti’s major contributions include demonstrating the safety and efficacy of the first European robotic-enhanced epicardial hybrid ablation combined with left atrial appendage closure—a landmark study with 12 citations that offers new hope for patients with persistent atrial fibrillation, where conventional pulmonary vein isolation often fails. She has also rigorously analyzed the learning curve for robotic mitral valve repair, notably incorporating the disruptive impact of COVID-19, and has advanced the field by showing how a robotic mitral program can be leveraged to safely implement robotic coronary surgery. Her work on biophysical predictors of effective ablation and the role of atrial fibrosis in arrhythmia recurrence provides critical insights for improving patient outcomes. With over 38 citations across her top papers, all published in 2023-2025, Giroletti is rapidly establishing herself as a leading voice in the next generation of computer-assisted cardiac surgery.
