About
Natalia Cotic is a biomedical engineer whose research focuses on the intersection of robotic-assisted intervention and cardiac electrophysiology. Her primary contributions lie in the design and development of novel force-sensing robotic systems for minimally invasive cardiac procedures, particularly the transseptal puncture (TSP) required for left atrial catheter ablation in atrial fibrillation treatment. Her most-cited work, "Design and Development of a Novel Force-Sensing Robotic System for the Transseptal Puncture in Left Atrial Catheter Ablation" (2023), addresses a critical procedural challenge: the risk of complications from inadvertent puncturing and excessive tissue forces during TSP. By integrating force-sensing capabilities into a robotic platform, Cotic's research aims to enhance procedural safety and precision, reducing the reliance on manual skill and mitigating risks associated with this demanding step. While her citation count is still emerging, her work represents a significant step toward safer, more reproducible catheter ablation techniques. Cotic’s contributions are particularly relevant for researchers and clinicians working in interventional cardiology, medical robotics, and haptic feedback systems, positioning her as a promising voice in the advancement of robotic-assisted cardiac care.
