About
Dr. Sankalp Sehgal is a leading cardiovascular researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and its role in hybrid revascularization. His most impactful contribution, a 2015 study comparing index hospitalization costs between robotic and conventional CABG, demonstrated that robotic approaches can achieve comparable or lower costs while reducing recovery times—a finding with 29 citations that has influenced surgical decision-making and healthcare economics. Dr. Sehgal further explored the biological advantages of robotic surgery in a 2017 paper, showing that robotically enhanced CABG elicits a significantly lower inflammatory response than conventional methods, supporting its use in hybrid procedures that combine surgical and percutaneous interventions. His work bridges the gap between clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness, providing evidence that robotic techniques can improve patient recovery without increasing financial burden. By quantifying both economic and physiological benefits, Dr. Sehgal has helped establish robotic CABG as a viable, patient-friendly alternative, shaping the future of coronary revascularization and inspiring further innovation in minimally invasive cardiac surgery.
