About

Prasant Mohanty is a leading researcher in cardiac electrophysiology, with a primary focus on catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) and complex ventricular arrhythmias. His major contributions center on advancing robotic navigation systems for AF ablation, where he demonstrated that robotic catheter navigation can achieve comparable efficacy to manual techniques while potentially reducing procedural risks. In a seminal 2009 study (120 citations), he provided one of the earliest comparative analyses of robotic versus manual AF ablation, establishing foundational evidence for robotic approaches. His 2012 worldwide survey (66 citations) further validated the methodology and safety of robotic systems across multiple centers. Mohanty also made critical contributions to understanding intramural ventricular arrhythmias, showing that some outflow tract arrhythmias require ablation from multiple sites due to their deep myocardial origin (45 citations). His experimental work on catheter feedback mechanisms (23 citations) systematically compared visual, tactile, and contact force feedback, revealing that contact force sensing is paramount for effective lesion formation. Through these studies, Mohanty has shaped modern ablation strategies, improving both the precision and safety of catheter-based treatments for complex cardiac arrhythmias.
