About
Lawrence Ang is a prominent interventional cardiologist whose research has fundamentally shaped the emerging field of robotic-assisted percutaneous cardiovascular intervention. Working at the intersection of cardiac technology and minimally invasive procedures, Ang has dedicated his career to demonstrating that robotic systems can safely and effectively perform complex coronary and peripheral vascular interventions that were once considered the exclusive domain of manual techniques. His most influential work — a 2017 study on robotic-assisted PCI in complex coronary lesions, now cited over 155 times — helped establish the credibility of this technology beyond simple cases. Ang was also among the first to evaluate the second-generation CorPath GRX system in humans, advancing the field's understanding of iterative robotic platform development. His longitudinal studies tracking 6- and 12-month outcomes provided critical evidence for the durability of robotic PCI results, while his pioneering work on robotic chronic total occlusion interventions pushed the boundaries of what robotics can achieve in the most challenging cases. A recurring theme throughout his publications is operator radiation protection — a practical benefit that strengthens the case for widespread clinical adoption. With over 390 cumulative citations, Ang's body of work has become essential reading for trainees and practitioners entering the rapidly evolving world of cardiovascular robotics.
