About
Dr. Paul Schoenhagen is a leading cardiovascular imager whose work centers on the application of advanced computed tomography (CT) to guide surgical planning and deepen the understanding of valvular heart disease. His research has had a direct impact on minimally invasive procedures, as demonstrated by his highly cited 2012 study on preoperative multidetector CT angiography for robotic mitral valve surgery. This work, which has garnered 39 citations, showed how detailed CT imaging can fundamentally alter surgical decision-making, helping to avoid unnecessary procedures and improve patient outcomes. Dr. Schoenhagen has also made critical contributions to the understanding of tricuspid valve pathology, notably in a 2021 study that precisely measured tricuspid annular dimensions in patients with severe mitral regurgitation. This research provides essential anatomical data that supports current guideline recommendations for concomitant tricuspid valve repair, moving the field beyond a reliance on regurgitation severity alone. Through his focus on translating complex imaging data into actionable surgical insights, Dr. Schoenhagen has established himself as a key figure in the evolution of precision cardiothoracic surgery.
