About

Yi-Chia Wang is a pioneering cardiac surgeon whose work has advanced minimally invasive and robotic heart surgery, particularly at National Taiwan University Hospital. Her primary research focuses on robotic mitral valve repair, combined aortic and mitral valve procedures, and the optimization of perfusion techniques in minimally invasive cardiac surgery. Wang’s major contributions include demonstrating the long-term feasibility and safety of robotic mitral valve repair, as evidenced by her landmark 10-year outcomes study (7 citations), which showed that robotic systems with 3D imaging and endo-wrist instruments reduce surgical trauma and preserve thoracic integrity. She has also explored innovative combined robotic and endoscopic approaches for double-valve surgery (4 citations), expanding the scope of minimally invasive techniques. Additionally, her work on retrograde arterial perfusion (3 citations) addresses critical safety concerns in robotic mitral-valve surgery, providing evidence-based guidance for perfusion strategies. Wang’s research has been instrumental in establishing robotic cardiac surgery as a viable, less invasive alternative, with her findings directly impacting patient recovery and surgical outcomes. Her achievements highlight her role as a leader in advancing cardiac surgical innovation in Asia.
