About

Ron Waksman is a prominent interventional cardiologist whose research has significantly advanced the field of robotic-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). His work has been instrumental in establishing the safety, feasibility, and clinical utility of robotic technology in cardiac catheterization laboratories, addressing both patient outcomes and occupational hazards faced by interventional cardiologists exposed to chronic radiation. Waksman's landmark 2013 study on robotic PCI safety and feasibility garnered over 300 citations, establishing a foundational evidence base for this emerging technology. Building on this, his contribution to the PRECISE multi-center study explored the learning curve associated with the CorPath 200 robotic system, providing practical insights that helped standardize training and adoption protocols across institutions. His most recent work through the PRECISION and PRECISION GRX studies extends this evidence into larger patient cohorts, evaluating successive generations of robotic platforms. Across his career, Waksman has helped transform robotic-assisted intervention from experimental concept to clinically validated practice, reducing radiation exposure risks for physicians while maintaining procedural efficacy. His body of work continues to shape how interventional cardiologists approach both technology integration and operator training in modern catheterization labs.
