About

Dr. Mitra Khosravi is a pioneering cardiothoracic surgeon whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of minimally invasive cardiac surgery. Her primary research focus is on robotic-assisted mitral valve repair, a domain where she has established herself as a global authority. Dr. Khosravi’s landmark study, "Early results of robotically assisted mitral valve surgery: Analysis of the first 1000 cases," with 174 citations, represents a seminal contribution. This comprehensive analysis demonstrated that robotic techniques could achieve excellent outcomes, including low mortality and complication rates, on a large scale, effectively validating the safety and efficacy of the approach and accelerating its adoption worldwide. Beyond this, her broader body of work has shaped best practices for patient selection and surgical technique in robotic cardiac procedures. Dr. Khosravi’s impact is profound; her research has not only influenced surgical protocols but also inspired a generation of surgeons to embrace innovation. Her dedication to rigorous outcomes research has made her a key figure in the transition from traditional open-heart surgery to less invasive, technology-driven alternatives, cementing her legacy as a leader in modern cardiac surgery.
