About

Lucinda Cruddas is a pioneering researcher at the forefront of robotic endovascular surgery, a field that merges minimally invasive vascular interventions with cutting-edge robotic precision. Her work focuses on the evolution of robotic systems to enhance the safety, accuracy, and outcomes of complex endovascular procedures, such as aneurysm repair and stent placement. Her most-cited paper, "Robotic endovascular surgery: current and future practice" (2021, 46 citations), provides a comprehensive overview of the technological landscape, highlighting both the promise and the challenges of integrating robotics into clinical workflows. This seminal review has become a key reference for surgeons and engineers alike, shaping discussions on the future of the specialty. In her subsequent work, "Robotics and Endovascular Surgery: Current Status" (2024), she updates the field's progress, emphasizing the growing role of teleoperation and haptic feedback. Cruddas’s contributions are vital for advancing surgical innovation, offering a roadmap for safer, more reproducible interventions that could redefine vascular care. Her research inspires a new generation of clinicians and engineers to push the boundaries of what is possible in the operating room.
