About

Vishwa Srivastava is a pioneering cardiac surgeon whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of minimally invasive coronary revascularization. His primary research focuses on robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), specifically the development and refinement of totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass (TECAB) procedures. Srivastava’s major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility and safety of performing complex, multi-vessel bypasses using bilateral internal thoracic arteries through a lateral thoracotomy with robotic assistance, a technique detailed in his most-cited work (120 citations). He has been a leading voice in evaluating the future of beating-heart TECAB, addressing its technical challenges and potential for wider adoption. Notably, he reported the first case of a planned simultaneous hybrid revascularization, integrating beating-heart TECAB with percutaneous intervention in a single operative setting—a landmark achievement in collaborative, patient-tailored cardiac care. With over 160 combined citations for his key publications, Srivastava’s work has shaped the trajectory of robotic cardiac surgery, offering patients reduced morbidity and faster recovery without compromising surgical precision.
