About
Sanjay Shah is a pioneering interventional cardiologist whose research has fundamentally shaped the emerging field of robotic-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention (R-PCI). His most celebrated contribution — the first-in-human report of long-distance tele-robotic-assisted PCI, published in 2019 and accumulating over 150 citations — demonstrated that life-saving coronary procedures could be performed remotely, opening transformative possibilities for patients in underserved and geographically isolated communities. This landmark achievement established Shah as a trailblazer at the intersection of cardiology and medical robotics. Beyond this groundbreaking work, Shah has systematically advanced the evidence base for R-PCI through rigorous comparative studies. His 2020 large-cohort analysis (72 citations) provided critical data showing patient-level benefits of robotic over traditional PCI, while his subsequent investigations into the R-PCI learning curve and safety profile address the practical barriers limiting broader clinical adoption. His work in robotic electrophysiology, including a randomized trial of robotically controlled cardiac ablation, further demonstrates the breadth of his vision for automated precision medicine. Collectively, Shah's research portfolio offers both visionary proof-of-concept and the pragmatic clinical evidence needed to bring robotic cardiac intervention into mainstream practice.
