About
Dr. Nai‐Hsin Chi is a pioneering cardiac surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive robotic techniques for complex heart conditions. His primary research areas include robotic mitral valve repair and the robotic treatment of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Dr. Chi’s major contributions lie in standardizing and refining robotic surgical approaches. He has championed the robotic transmitral approach for HCM with systolic anterior motion, demonstrating its feasibility and safety as an alternative to traditional open-chest myectomy. His work on robotic mitral valve repair, including a comprehensive 10-year review from National Taiwan University Hospital, has established a standardized repair strategy that ensures consistent, reproducible outcomes. With over 37 citations across his most influential papers, Dr. Chi’s research has significantly impacted the field by showing that robotic surgery can reduce surgical trauma, maintain thoracic integrity, and improve recovery times. Notably, he has also investigated the safety of retrograde arterial perfusion in robotic mitral-valve surgery, addressing key concerns in perfusion management. Through these achievements, Dr. Chi has helped position robotic cardiac surgery as a viable, effective standard for treating structural heart disease.
