About
Stacie VanOosterhout is a pioneering cardiovascular researcher whose work sits at the intersection of interventional cardiology, robotics, and telemedicine. Her research has fundamentally advanced the field of robotic telestenting — the remote performance of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) by a physician operator physically separated from the patient. Her landmark REMOTE-PCI study (2017, 60 citations) was among the first to demonstrate the feasibility of this approach, while subsequent investigations explored how network latency and geographic distance affect telestenting performance, collectively garnering over 140 citations and establishing a rigorous scientific foundation for the technology. VanOosterhout has also examined critical safety dimensions of robotic PCI, including the significant reduction in physician radiation exposure when robotics and protective lead suits are combined (2016, 53 citations). Her research has expanded beyond coronary intervention to include remote robotic endovascular thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke (2021) and transatlantic telerobotic coronary angiography (2024), reflecting a broader vision of using telerobotic platforms to extend specialist care to underserved populations globally. Her body of work positions her as a leading voice in democratizing access to high-quality cardiovascular and neurovascular care through innovative remote technologies.
