About

Yamume Tshomba is a pioneering researcher in the field of robotic-assisted endovascular surgery, whose work has focused on the design, development, and clinical translation of innovative surgical robotics systems. Tshomba is best known for their contributions to ROSES (Robotic System for Endovascular Surgery) and its predecessor ROSA (Robotic System for Angioplasty), a family of devices engineered to enhance precision and safety in minimally invasive vascular procedures, including transcatheter percutaneous coronary angioplasty. Tshomba's research spans the full development pipeline — from disposables and accessories to iterative system redesign — demonstrating a commitment to bringing these technologies closer to real-world clinical application. A particularly notable achievement is the integration of a continuous resistance-measurement mechanism within ROSES, which monitors catheter and guidewire advancement in real time without requiring specialized additional components, representing a meaningful advance in intraoperative feedback for surgeons. With publications accumulating citations across a growing body of work — including 6 citations for their 2022 disposables study — Tshomba's research is gaining recognition within the endovascular robotics community. Their trajectory suggests an emerging leader whose contributions to surgical automation and patient safety may have lasting influence on interventional cardiology and vascular surgery.
