Publications
Research themes span minimally invasive and totally endoscopic cardiac surgery, valve and aortic surgery, transplantation, mechanical circulatory support, AI-assisted video analysis and complex cardiothoracic care.
A visual research hub linking to publication collections that are maintained separately.
become evidence
A connected research practice
From the operating room to shared knowledge.
Clinical research begins with a real problem: how to make an operation safer, less invasive, more reproducible or more durable. Structured data and transparent reporting turn that experience into evidence.
Complete publication lists are intentionally maintained on the linked collection pages, so each new paper is entered only once.
Clinically meaningful
Research priorities arise from patient care, operative decisions and measurable recovery.
Structured and reproducible
Defined cohorts, standardized outcomes and traceable analyses support reliable interpretation.
Back to patient care
Findings matter when they improve decisions, technique, education and longitudinal care.
Six research constellations
Different questions. One evidence orbit.
Rotate the constellation and follow each theme to its established publication collection.
Minimally invasive cardiac surgery
Implementation, outcomes and reproducible strategies for small-access and totally endoscopic procedures.
Open collection →Valve, rhythm & aortic surgery
Mechanism-based valve repair, rhythm surgery, aortic disease and durable functional outcomes.
Open collection →Transplantation & mechanical circulatory support
Clinical and translational perspectives in heart transplantation, xenotransplantation, ventricular assist devices and organ support.
Open collection →Evidence synthesis
Narrative reviews and evidence-based practice translating broad literature into clinical decisions.
Open collection →Thoracic & vascular challenges
Complex vascular injury, pulmonary artery disease and thoracic critical-care experience.
Open collection →Surgical innovation, AI & data
Technique development, AI-assisted surgical video analysis and data-supported improvement of care.

Research grows through connected roots
Clinical practice, data and teaching sustain one another.
Like an old-growth forest, durable research depends on an ecosystem: careful observation, multidisciplinary collaboration, structured data, critical review and the return of knowledge to patient care.
Clinical questions
Research begins with problems encountered in the operating room, intensive care and follow-up.
Clinical expertise →Structured data
Consistent definitions, traceable datasets and reproducible workflows strengthen each conclusion.
Data management →Translation into practice
Evidence returns to operative strategy, education, quality improvement and safer care.
Surgical innovation →Publication routes
