About

Vincenzo Giambruno is a leading cardiac surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive and hybrid approaches to coronary revascularization. His major contributions center on demonstrating the safety, efficacy, and long-term benefits of hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR)—a technique that integrates coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with percutaneous coronary intervention—as an alternative to both on-pump and off-pump CABG. In his landmark 2019 comparative effectiveness study (55 citations), Giambruno provided crucial long-term follow-up data showing HCR’s advantages in treating multivessel disease. His 18-year single-center experience with robotic-assisted direct coronary artery bypass (RADCAB), published in 2018 (37 citations), established the feasibility and durability of this minimally invasive technique. Through these works, Giambruno has helped define the future of coronary surgery, arguing persuasively that hybrid approaches can combine the strengths of surgical and percutaneous methods while minimizing their respective drawbacks. His cumulative research, with over 150 citations, positions him as a key voice in the evolution toward less invasive, patient-tailored revascularization strategies.
