About

Dr. Poorna R. Karuparthi is a pioneering interventional cardiologist whose research focuses on advancing robotic-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), particularly for high-risk and complex coronary disease. His major contributions center on demonstrating the feasibility, safety, and technical refinements of robotic systems in treating challenging cases, such as multivessel disease and chronic total occlusions. In his landmark 2022 study on implementing robotic-assisted PCI into a high-risk program, he showed that robotic automation can enhance precision and reduce procedural risks, garnering 6 citations. His work on totally robotic three-vessel PCI with total occlusion (3 citations) and techniques to overcome pushability limitations (3 citations) has provided critical insights for operators transitioning to robotic platforms. By addressing key barriers like catheter deliverability, Dr. Karuparthi has helped expand the applicability of robotic technology beyond simple lesions. His research is instrumental in shaping the future of minimally invasive coronary intervention, offering a roadmap for integrating automation into complex revascularization strategies.
