About
Dr. Manish Shroff is a pioneering cardiothoracic surgeon whose work has significantly advanced minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). His key research focuses on robotic-assisted cardiac surgery and the innovative use of bilateral internal thoracic arteries (BITAs) to improve long-term graft patency. Dr. Shroff’s landmark 2006 study, "Use of Bilateral Internal Thoracic Arteries in CABG Through Lateral Thoracotomy With Robotic Assistance in 150 Patients" (120 citations), demonstrated the feasibility and safety of performing complex, multi-vessel revascularization through a small lateral thoracotomy with robotic assistance—a technique that reduces surgical trauma, speeds recovery, and avoids sternotomy. This work has been instrumental in shifting the paradigm toward less invasive, yet equally effective, surgical revascularization strategies. By showing that BITAs can be harvested and grafted robotically with excellent outcomes, Dr. Shroff has helped set a new standard for CABG, particularly for patients requiring multiple grafts. His contributions have inspired a generation of cardiac surgeons to embrace robotic technology, ultimately improving patient quality of life and expanding the boundaries of what is possible in modern cardiac surgery.
