About
Dr. Arman Arghami is a pioneering cardiothoracic surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive and robotic cardiac surgery, with a particular focus on mitral and aortic valve repair and replacement. His major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility, safety, and cost-effectiveness of single-port robotic-assisted adrenalectomy, and more critically, establishing the long-term efficacy of robotic mitral valve repair through a decade of echocardiographic follow-up (36 citations). Dr. Arghami’s work has been instrumental in comparing robotic versus non-robotic minimally invasive mitral valve repair, showing superior short- and mid-term outcomes (13 citations). He has also led multicenter efforts to define the path forward for robotic aortic valve replacement, with longitudinal outcomes now being tracked (9 citations). His research extends to optimizing perioperative care, including novel analgesic techniques like pectoral fascial plane blocks for mitral surgery (12 citations) and anticoagulation strategies with apixaban post-repair (10 citations). With his most cited paper—the 2022 Society of Thoracic Surgeons Adult Cardiac Surgery Database update (168 citations)—Dr. Arghami has significantly shaped national outcomes research. His work consistently pushes the boundaries of what is possible in robotic cardiac surgery, offering patients less invasive options with excellent results.
