About
Dr. Piersilvio Gerometta is a pioneering cardiothoracic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive and robotic-assisted cardiac procedures, particularly for complex arrhythmias and valvular disease. His major contributions lie in the development and evaluation of hybrid ablation techniques for persistent atrial fibrillation, a challenging condition where conventional pulmonary vein isolation often falls short. In his landmark 2024 study, Dr. Gerometta reported the first European experience with robotic-assisted epicardial hybrid ablation combined with left atrial appendage closure, demonstrating a novel, integrated approach that has already garnered 12 citations for its clinical significance. He has also been instrumental in assessing the safety and effectiveness of robotic-assisted mitral valve surgery, as shown in his 2022 cohort study of 59 patients, which achieved 7 citations and helped validate the use of fourth-generation DaVinci X platforms in a contemporary setting. With a career dedicated to refining surgical robotics and hybrid strategies, Dr. Gerometta’s work is shaping the future of cardiac surgery, offering patients less invasive options with improved outcomes.
