About

Marc Gillinov is a pioneering cardiac surgeon whose research focuses on advancing robotic mitral valve repair techniques. His major contributions include developing and refining minimally invasive surgical approaches that improve patient outcomes and reduce recovery times. Notably, his 2023 randomized clinical trial on serratus anterior and pectoralis plane blocks for robotically assisted mitral valve repair (33 citations) demonstrated innovative pain management strategies. Gillinov’s work on the “Five Maneuvers to Facilitate Faster Robotic Mitral Valve Repair” (10 citations) and “Developing Proficiency in Robotic Cardiac Surgery” (6 citations) provides essential guidance for surgeons transitioning to robotic techniques. He has also described novel repair methods, including robotic artificial chord implantation for complex leaflet prolapse and triangular resection for posterior leaflet prolapse, emphasizing simplicity, low risk, and excellent long-term durability. His video-based publications showcase procedural mastery, while his “Right WAYS to Repair the Mitral Valve” (3 citations) offers a systematic framework for surgical decision-making. With cumulative citations exceeding 60, Gillinov’s work has significantly shaped modern cardiac surgery, making robotic mitral valve repair more accessible, reproducible, and effective for patients worldwide.
