About

Salvatore De Rosa is a pioneering biomedical engineer and researcher whose work sits at the cutting edge of robotic-assisted cardiovascular intervention. His research has focused primarily on the design, development, and clinical translation of robotic systems for endovascular surgery, with a particular emphasis on percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). De Rosa is best known as the driving force behind the ROSA (RObotic System for Angioplasty) and its successor, ROSES (Robotic System for Endovascular Surgery), innovative platforms engineered to enhance the precision, safety, and ergonomics of catheter-based cardiac procedures. His contributions span the full arc of medical device development — from early-stage engineering and in vitro experimentation to first-in-human clinical application. Most notably, De Rosa led the landmark first-in-human robotic PCI performed using the ROSES system, a milestone reported in 2023 that marked a significant step forward in the clinical adoption of robotic-assisted coronary procedures. His published works, accumulating citations across a rapidly growing field, reflect both scientific rigor and a clear translational vision. For students and clinicians interested in the future of minimally invasive cardiology, De Rosa's research represents a compelling blueprint for how engineering innovation can directly reshape patient care.
