About

Dr. Patrycja Jonetzko is a pioneering cardiac surgeon whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of minimally invasive coronary revascularization. Her research centers on the integration of robotic surgery and catheter-based interventions, particularly through the development of simultaneous hybrid procedures. Dr. Jonetzko is best known for her seminal contributions to totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass grafting (TECAB), where she demonstrated the technical feasibility and safety of combining robotic TECAB with drug-eluting stent placement in a single operative session—a concept that has reshaped treatment paradigms for multivessel coronary artery disease. Her most cited work, "Technical challenges in totally endoscopic robotic coronary artery bypass grafting" (108 citations), remains a foundational reference in the field, while her 2007 study on simultaneous hybrid revascularization (80 citations) established a new standard for integrated care. Beyond coronary surgery, she has also contributed to totally endoscopic atrial septal defect repair. Dr. Jonetzko’s innovations have not only expanded the boundaries of robotic cardiac surgery but have also directly improved patient outcomes by reducing surgical trauma and recovery times. Her work continues to inspire a generation of surgeons pursuing less invasive approaches to complex cardiac disease.
