About

Dr. Yih-Sharng Chen is a pioneering cardiac surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive and robotic techniques for complex mitral valve and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) procedures. His major contributions include refining the robotic transmitral approach for HCM with systolic anterior motion, offering a less invasive alternative to traditional open myectomy, and demonstrating the feasibility of robotic mitral valve repair in the challenging context of infective endocarditis. Dr. Chen has also rigorously investigated the safety of retrograde arterial perfusion in robotic mitral-valve surgery, providing critical data on perfusion strategies. His most cited works, including a 2018 study on robotic HCM surgery (13 citations) and a 2014 paper on robotic endocarditis repair (12 citations), have helped shape modern surgical practice. Through his prospective observational studies and clinical innovations, Dr. Chen has established himself as a leader in robotic cardiac surgery, significantly improving patient outcomes by reducing surgical trauma while maintaining the highest standards of safety and efficacy.
