About
Dr. Maolong Su is a pioneering interventional cardiologist whose work is redefining the boundaries of minimally invasive cardiac surgery. His primary research focus lies in the development and clinical application of robotic-assisted transcatheter interventions for structural heart disease, with a particular emphasis on mitral valve repair. Dr. Su’s most notable contribution is leading the world’s first-in-human robotic-assisted transcatheter mitral edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) for severe mitral regurgitation. This landmark procedure, performed on a 68-year-old patient with NYHA class III heart failure, demonstrated the feasibility of combining robotic precision with transcatheter techniques to treat complex valvular pathology. While his pioneering work is still accruing citations, its immediate impact is measured by the paradigm shift it represents—offering a less invasive alternative to traditional surgery for high-risk patients. Dr. Su’s achievement places him at the forefront of a new era in structural heart interventions, where the synergy of robotics and catheter-based therapy promises to expand treatment options and improve outcomes for patients worldwide.
