About

Reyaz Haque is a pioneering cardiothoracic surgeon whose work has advanced the frontiers of minimally invasive coronary artery bypass surgery. His primary research focus is on robotic totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass grafting (TECAB), particularly in complex and high-risk patient populations. Dr. Haque’s major contributions include developing innovative perfusion strategies, such as on-pump beating-heart TECAB with axillary artery perfusion, which provides a safer alternative for patients who cannot tolerate complete off-pump or arrested-heart approaches. His 2009 paper on this technique, with 19 citations, remains a key reference for surgeons navigating difficult coronary anatomies. Additionally, Dr. Haque has demonstrated the feasibility of robotically assisted coronary endarterectomy for diffusely diseased vessels, expanding the scope of what can be achieved endoscopically. His work directly addresses the technical challenges of robotic cardiac surgery, offering solutions that enhance patient safety and procedural success. By pushing the boundaries of what is possible with robotic assistance, Dr. Haque has helped establish TECAB as a viable option for a broader range of patients, solidifying his reputation as an innovator in the field.
