About
Dr. Vasiliki Manaki is a pioneering cardiothoracic surgeon whose research is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive cardiac surgery. Her primary focus lies in advancing totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass grafting (TECAB), a cutting-edge technique designed to reduce the trauma of traditional open-heart procedures. Her most influential work, a 2024 systematic review and meta-analysis, meticulously reconstructed patient-level data to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TECAB, providing the highest level of evidence for this emerging approach. This study, already garnering early citations, demonstrates her commitment to rigorous, data-driven surgical innovation. Dr. Manaki’s contributions are critical for defining which patients benefit most from endoscopic techniques, potentially shortening recovery times and improving outcomes. Her work stands at the forefront of a paradigm shift in cardiac surgery, moving from large incisions to precise, camera-guided interventions. By synthesizing global data, she is not only validating a new standard of care but also setting the stage for future clinical trials and broader adoption of robotic-assisted coronary bypass.
