About

Dr. Tine Philipsen is a leading authority in robotic cardiac surgery, with a career dedicated to advancing minimally invasive techniques across Europe. Her research focuses on the evolution, standardization, and future of robotic coronary revascularization, particularly through her work with the EACTS-endorsed Robotic Cardiothoracic Surgery Taskforce. Dr. Philipsen’s landmark study, “Robotic Cardiac Surgery in Europe: Status 2020,” has garnered 79 citations, providing a critical assessment of the field’s trajectory from early hype to renewed technological promise. This work, alongside her contributions to defining state-of-the-art practices in robotic coronary revascularization, has shaped clinical guidelines and training protocols. By mapping the European landscape and identifying barriers to adoption, she has helped rekindle interest in robotic approaches for heart surgery. Her efforts are instrumental in bridging the gap between innovation and routine clinical application, making her a pivotal figure in the modern era of cardiothoracic surgery.
