About

Luciano Ponce is a pioneering neurointerventionalist whose work centers on advancing robotic-assisted cerebral angiography and endovascular neurosurgery. His major contributions lie in demonstrating the clinical feasibility, safety, and precision of robotic systems for diagnostic cerebral angiography, a field with profound implications for reducing occupational radiation exposure to physicians and enabling future remote teleoperation. Ponce’s most cited work, a multicenter experience published in 2023, provides critical evidence that robotic neurointervention can be performed effectively across multiple institutions, moving beyond single-center case reports. This study, with its 2 citations, is foundational for the growing literature on robotic precision in neurovascular procedures. Beyond this, Ponce is recognized for his role in integrating cutting-edge robotics into routine clinical practice, helping to shape protocols that may one day allow for telerobotic stroke care. His research directly addresses the dual goals of improving procedural accuracy and protecting healthcare workers, positioning him as a key figure in the next generation of minimally invasive, robot-assisted neurosurgery.
