About
Monica Gianoli is a leading European authority in robotic cardiac surgery, whose work is actively shaping the future of minimally invasive coronary and valvular interventions. Her research focuses on advancing robot-assisted techniques, including robotic mitral valve surgery and robot-assisted minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (RA-MIDCAB), with a particular emphasis on expanding their adoption and proving their clinical and economic viability. Gianoli’s major contributions include comprehensive assessments of the field’s evolution, such as the landmark paper “Robotic Cardiac Surgery in Europe: Status 2020” (79 citations), which documented the resurgence of robotic techniques after an initial decline. She has also been instrumental in establishing best-practice guidelines through her work with the EACTS-endorsed Robotic Cardiothoracic Surgery Taskforce. Her impact is further demonstrated by her leadership in national outcomes studies, including a nationwide analysis of RA-MIDCAB and hybrid revascularization in the Netherlands, and by tackling critical barriers to adoption, such as cost-effectiveness and the technical challenges of transitioning to totally endoscopic coronary bypass. Through her meta-analyses on distal anastomosis connectors, Gianoli is actively working to overcome the suturing difficulties that have long limited the reach of robotic surgery.
