About

Nahush A. Mokadam is a cardiothoracic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on minimally invasive cardiac surgery, surgical innovation, and the role of deliberate practice in surgical training. His most-cited paper, "Percutaneous Coronary Sinus Catheterization for Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery—More Questions Than Answers?" (2010, 8 citations), critically examines the challenges and unanswered questions in adopting percutaneous techniques for coronary sinus access, highlighting his commitment to refining less invasive approaches. In his reflective piece "Repetition is the mother of skill" (2018, 6 citations), Mokadam underscores the importance of structured, repetitive training in mastering complex surgical procedures, a principle that resonates with educators and trainees alike. Though his citation counts are modest, his contributions are valued for their practical insights into surgical technique and pedagogy. Mokadam’s work bridges the gap between innovation and clinical application, emphasizing that true progress in cardiac surgery requires both technical ingenuity and disciplined skill acquisition. His writings serve as a guide for surgeons navigating the evolving landscape of minimally invasive care.
