About
Robert H. Rosenwasser is a pioneering neurosurgeon and cerebrovascular specialist whose career has been defined by his relentless pursuit of technological innovation in stroke care and endovascular neurosurgery. Best known for his groundbreaking work in robotic-assisted cerebrovascular interventions, Rosenwasser has played a central role in establishing the feasibility of endovascular robotics for procedures such as carotid artery stenting and diagnostic cerebral angiography, with his 2020 proof-of-principle study accumulating 83 citations and reshaping how clinicians envision minimally invasive neurointerventional care. His comparative analyses of robotic versus manual transradial carotid stenting have further advanced the evidence base for this emerging paradigm. Beyond robotics, Rosenwasser has made substantial contributions to improving stroke systems of care, championing telestroke networks that expanded intravenous tPA access in community hospitals — work cited nearly 70 times — and advocating for robotic tele-presence in the neuro-ICU to enhance critical care delivery. A consistent theme across his scholarship is the integration of technology to overcome human physical limitations and geographic barriers. His vision of the neurosurgeon as a comprehensive stroke specialist has helped redefine the discipline's scope and leadership role in acute cerebrovascular disease management.
