About

Dr. Fernanda Naomi Inagaki Nagase is a leading cardiovascular surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive cardiac procedures, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted mitral valve repair. Her most impactful contribution is a landmark 2022 systematic review and meta-analysis, which rigorously evaluated the safety and clinical efficacy of robot-assisted mitral valve repair against conventional approaches like sternotomy and right minithoracotomy. This study, which has garnered 19 citations, provides critical evidence supporting the adoption of robotic techniques by demonstrating comparable or superior outcomes with reduced invasiveness. Dr. Nagase’s research directly addresses the pressing need for data-driven guidelines in robotic cardiac surgery, helping to refine surgical protocols and improve patient recovery. Her work is essential reading for surgeons and researchers exploring the intersection of robotics and cardiothoracic surgery, positioning her as a key voice in the ongoing shift toward less invasive, technology-enhanced surgical care.
