About

Ling-Yi Wei is a pioneering cardiac surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques in complex heart valve surgery and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Based at National Taiwan University Hospital, Dr. Wei has made significant contributions to robotic and endoscopic approaches for combined aortic and mitral valve procedures, demonstrating that these technologies can achieve excellent outcomes while reducing surgical trauma and accelerating patient recovery. Their 2025 study on robotic and endoscopic combined valve surgery, already garnering 4 citations, highlights the feasibility and safety of the lateral approach for these demanding operations. Additionally, Dr. Wei has explored the robotic transmitral approach for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a novel technique that offers superior visualization and precision for septal myectomy. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Wei’s work is shaping the future of cardiac surgery by expanding the boundaries of what is possible through minimally invasive methods, ultimately improving outcomes for patients with complex valvular and myocardial diseases.
