About

Takenori Ishisone is a leading figure in the advancement of robotic-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention (R-PCI), with a specialized focus on integrating intravascular imaging guidance to enhance procedural precision and patient safety. His research addresses a critical gap in interventional cardiology: the limited data on robotic PCI outcomes when combined with real-time imaging modalities. Ishisone’s seminal 2022 work, cited 16 times, provided the first comprehensive analysis of periprocedural and 30-day outcomes for R-PCI under intravascular imaging guidance, demonstrating its feasibility and safety in complex coronary lesions. Building on this, his 2023 study further validated the utility of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided robotic PCI, showing that this combination effectively prevents longitudinal geographic miss—a key factor in reducing adverse events. With a growing citation impact, Ishisone’s contributions are shaping the future of minimally invasive, image-guided coronary interventions. His work not only establishes a foundation for broader clinical adoption of robotic systems but also underscores the importance of precision in PCI, offering a promising pathway toward improved outcomes for patients with coronary artery disease.
