About
Dr. Zeynep Kahraman is a pioneering cardiac surgeon whose work centers on advancing robotic-assisted techniques for complex congenital and structural heart disease. Her major contributions lie in demonstrating the feasibility and safety of totally endoscopic robotic surgery for a wide range of challenging pathologies, from partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (17 citations) and giant left ventricular myxomas causing outflow tract obstruction (14 citations) to atrial septal defect closure in patients with situs inversus totalis and dextrocardia (12 citations). She has also innovated combined procedures, such as robotic mitral valve surgery with left atrial reduction and ablation for atrial fibrillation (10 citations), and developed novel approaches to avoid lung isolation during robotic cardiac surgery (6 citations). Her work on robotic septal myectomy without anterior leaflet incision during mitral valve repair (4 citations) addresses a critical complication in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. With a cumulative impact of over 70 citations across her most-cited papers, Dr. Kahraman is recognized for expanding the boundaries of minimally invasive cardiac surgery, offering patients less invasive options for conditions once managed only through sternotomy. Her technical refinements and detailed case reports serve as essential guides for surgeons adopting robotic platforms.
