About

Dr. Rodrigo Bagur is a leading figure in the field of interventional cardiology and coronary revascularization, with a specific focus on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques. His research critically examines the balance between surgical and percutaneous approaches, particularly through the lens of hybrid coronary revascularization. In his highly cited 2017 work, Dr. Bagur explored how combining the strengths of both procedures could optimize patient outcomes while minimizing their respective drawbacks, such as bleeding risks. He further contributes to the safety and efficacy of robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) by investigating the critical factors leading to conversion to sternotomy, as detailed in his 2018 study. By identifying the reasons and timing for this bailout method, his work directly informs clinical decision-making and improves patient safety protocols. With over 29 citations across his key publications, Dr. Bagur’s research is instrumental in shaping the future of coronary arterial revascularization, pushing the field toward more precise, less invasive, and safer cardiac interventions.
