About

Stavropoula Tjoumakaris is a pioneering neurosurgeon and neurointerventionalist whose research sits at the intersection of cerebrovascular disease, endovascular innovation, and stroke care. She has emerged as a leading voice in the integration of robotic technology into neurovascular procedures, most notably through her groundbreaking work demonstrating the feasibility of the CorPath GRX robotic platform for diagnostic cerebral angiography and carotid artery stenting — a study that has garnered over 83 citations and helped establish proof of principle for an entirely new era of precision-guided intervention. Her comparative analyses of robotic-assisted versus manual transradial carotid stenting further solidify her commitment to advancing safer, more reproducible endovascular techniques. Beyond robotics, Tjoumakaris has made meaningful contributions to stroke systems of care, including research on telestroke services that expand intravenous tPA access in community hospitals — work cited nearly 70 times and with significant public health implications. Her broader scholarly output, spanning topics from the neurosurgeon's evolving role as a stroke specialist to the promise of robotics in the stroke era, reflects a career dedicated to both technical innovation and equitable patient outcomes. She remains an influential figure at Thomas Jefferson University and a compelling model for clinician-researchers shaping the future of cerebrovascular medicine.
