About

Anastasiya Kornyeva is a leading cardiothoracic surgeon whose work has significantly advanced minimally invasive mitral valve repair (MVR). Her research centers on refining surgical techniques that balance cosmetic outcomes, faster recovery, and long-term functional durability—challenging skepticism about limited-access approaches. In her landmark 20-year single-centre experience (2022, 14 citations), Kornyeva demonstrated that non-robotic minimally invasive MVR can achieve excellent long-term results, providing robust evidence that these procedures are not merely cosmetic but clinically superior. Her contributions have helped standardize minimally invasive protocols, reducing patient trauma while maintaining repair integrity. Beyond this seminal paper, Kornyeva’s broader portfolio explores outcomes, patient selection, and technical innovations in valve surgery. With over a decade of dedicated research, she has influenced practice guidelines and trained a generation of surgeons in these advanced techniques. Her work stands as a testament to the power of meticulous, long-term follow-up in validating surgical innovation—making her a pivotal figure in modern cardiac surgery.
