About

Nai-Hsin Chi is a pioneering cardiac surgeon whose research sits at the forefront of robotic and minimally invasive cardiac surgery, with a particular focus on mitral and aortic valve procedures. Based at National Taiwan University Hospital, Chi has made substantial contributions to expanding the clinical boundaries of robotic cardiac surgery, tackling some of the field's most technically demanding scenarios. His early work on robotic mitral valve repair in infective endocarditis — a notoriously complex condition — demonstrated that minimally invasive robotic approaches could be safely applied even in challenging infectious settings, earning 12 citations and establishing a foundation for subsequent innovation. He has further advanced the field through comparative studies of robotic versus conventional sternotomy in redo mitral surgery, where operative risks are significantly elevated, and through international multicenter investigations into robotic aortic valve replacement that have garnered growing scholarly attention. His most recent contributions explore combined aortic and mitral valve procedures using lateral robotic and endoscopic approaches, pushing the boundaries of what minimally invasive techniques can achieve. Collectively, Chi's body of work reflects a consistent commitment to reducing surgical trauma while maintaining procedural excellence, positioning him as a significant voice in the evolving landscape of robotic cardiac surgery.
