About

Soraya Fereydooni is a clinician-researcher specializing in robotic cardiac and thoracic surgery, with a focus on evaluating patient-facing digital health resources and advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for high-risk populations. Her work bridges surgical innovation and health communication, as demonstrated by her most-cited study, "Assessment of online information on robotic cardiac and thoracic surgery" (2024, 4 citations), which critically analyzed the quality, readability, and accessibility of online materials for patients considering robotic procedures—a timely contribution given the rapid adoption of robotic platforms. In a landmark case report, she detailed a totally endoscopic, robotic-assisted mitral valve repair in an acutely decompensated 86-year-old patient with severe aortic stenosis, mitral regurgitation, and multiple comorbidities including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, chronic HFpEF, type 2 diabetes, and a porcelain aorta, following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (2023, 1 citation). This work underscores her expertise in managing complex, elderly patients with prohibitive surgical risks, demonstrating the feasibility of robotic approaches where traditional sternotomy is contraindicated. Fereydooni’s contributions are particularly impactful for surgeons and trainees navigating the intersection of digital health literacy and advanced robotic techniques in cardiac surgery.
