About
Ana Carolina Bueno Santana is a rising leader in vascular surgery, whose work is reshaping the management of complex aortoiliac disease through the lens of robotic innovation. Her primary research focus lies in the application of minimally invasive robotic techniques for abdominal aortic aneurysms and occlusive arterial pathologies. Her most impactful contribution to date is a landmark systematic review and single-arm meta-analysis on robotic surgery for these conditions, which has already garnered 4 citations since its 2025 publication. This work provides the first comprehensive synthesis of perioperative outcomes, demonstrating the safety and feasibility of robotic approaches while highlighting areas for future device refinement. Beyond this, Santana has contributed to the broader evidence base for endovascular and hybrid procedures, advocating for patient-centered outcomes and reduced recovery times. Her research is notable for its methodological rigor and its practical implications for surgeons transitioning from open to robotic platforms. As a young investigator, she is already influencing the next generation of vascular specialists, bridging the gap between emerging technology and clinical application. Her growing citation record signals a promising trajectory in a field where precision and innovation are paramount.
