About

Dr. Yujiro Yokoyama is a leading researcher in minimally invasive cardiac surgery, with a focus on robotic and non-robotic approaches for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and mitral valve procedures. His work systematically compares surgical outcomes, including mortality, morbidity, and healthcare utilization, to guide clinical decision-making. In his most-cited study (16 citations), he analyzed in-hospital outcomes of robotic versus non-robotic CABG, addressing conflicting prior evidence. Another key contribution is a network meta-analysis (7 citations) comparing conventional sternotomy, right mini-thoracotomy, and robotic techniques for mitral valve repair or replacement, clarifying the relative risks and benefits of each approach. Dr. Yokoyama’s research provides critical evidence for optimizing surgical strategies, helping to advance the adoption of robotic and minimally invasive techniques in cardiac surgery. His work has been published in high-impact journals and is frequently cited by peers evaluating the efficacy and safety of these innovative procedures.
