About

Mathieu Pernot is a pioneering cardiothoracic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive and robotic-assisted cardiac surgery. His major contributions lie in demonstrating the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of robotic approaches for complex procedures, particularly in coronary artery bypass grafting and mitral valve repair. His 2022 study on Robotic-Assisted Minimally Invasive Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery (RA-MIDCAB), with 11 citations, provides critical initial experience showing that this technique reduces recovery times while maintaining optimal surgical outcomes. Complementing this, his 2021 work on launching a robotic mitral valve repair program—cited 9 times—offers invaluable lessons for surgical teams, emphasizing that despite the rise of transcatheter technologies, robotic surgery remains the gold standard for degenerative mitral regurgitation. Pernot’s research directly addresses the practical challenges of adopting new robotic platforms, from patient selection to team training, making him a key voice in the transition toward less invasive cardiac interventions. His work not only validates robotic techniques but also provides a roadmap for other centers seeking to implement these advanced programs, solidifying his impact on the future of cardiac surgery.
