About
Brianna M. Donnelly is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of neurocritical care and interventional cardiology, whose work focuses on reducing ischemic brain injury during high-risk cardiovascular procedures. Her primary research areas include cerebral emboli detection, autonomous neuromonitoring, and the application of artificial intelligence in transcranial Doppler (TCD) technology. Donnelly’s most notable contribution is her pilot study on robotic TCD with AI for real-time intraoperative monitoring during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), a procedure with significant stroke risk. This groundbreaking work, cited 5 times since its 2023 publication, demonstrated the feasibility of using a novel robotic system to continuously detect cerebral emboli and provide autonomous feedback, both with and without embolic protection devices. By integrating AI into neuromonitoring, Donnelly has opened new avenues for preventing periprocedural strokes, potentially transforming safety protocols in structural heart interventions. Her research represents a critical step toward personalized, real-time brain protection during cardiac procedures, establishing her as a key innovator in neurocardiology and AI-driven medical monitoring.
