About
Monika Killer-Oberpfalzer is a pioneering neurointerventionalist whose research focuses on advancing robotic-assisted endovascular treatments for cerebrovascular diseases, particularly cerebral aneurysms. Her major contribution lies in evaluating the clinical translation of robotic platforms—most notably the CorPath GRX system—into neurointerventional practice. Her landmark 2023 prospective study, which has accumulated 48 citations, systematically assessed the effectiveness and safety of this robotic system for endovascular embolization of cerebral aneurysms, demonstrating its potential to enhance procedural precision while reducing operator radiation exposure. This work represents a critical step toward integrating robotic assistance into routine neurovascular care, addressing longstanding challenges in catheter stability and fine motor control during complex aneurysm coiling. Killer-Oberpfalzer’s research bridges the gap between established robotic applications in coronary and peripheral interventions and the emerging frontier of neurointervention, laying foundational evidence for future randomized trials and wider clinical adoption. Her contributions are particularly notable for their forward-looking impact on training paradigms and procedural standardization, positioning her as a key figure in the technological evolution of minimally invasive stroke and aneurysm therapy.
