About
Andrew Borgman is a pioneering figure in interventional cardiology, whose research focuses on the intersection of robotics, telecommunication, and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). His major contributions lie in demonstrating the feasibility of remote, robotically-assisted stenting, a concept he terms "telestenting." In his landmark REMOTE-PCI study (2017, 60 citations), Borgman and his team successfully performed PCI on patients from a separate physical location, proving that a physician could operate a robotic system via telecommunications to deploy stents. This work has profound implications for expanding access to life-saving cardiac care in underserved or remote areas. Additionally, his 2016 study (53 citations) quantified a critical benefit of robotic PCI: a significant reduction in physician radiation exposure when using a robotic system and a suspended lead suit, directly addressing a major occupational hazard in cardiology. By merging robotics with telemedicine, Borgman is not only advancing procedural precision but also reshaping the future of how and where critical cardiac interventions can be delivered.
