About

Dr. Neal S. Kleiman is a pioneering interventional cardiologist whose research has shaped modern approaches to myocardial revascularization and endovascular intervention. His foundational work, "Evolving revascularization approaches for myocardial ischemia" (2003, 33 citations), critically analyzed shifting paradigms in treating coronary artery disease, influencing clinical strategies for decades. More recently, Dr. Kleiman has been at the forefront of robotic-assisted vascular procedures. His landmark "First in Man Pilot Feasibility Study in Extracranial Carotid Robotic-Assisted Endovascular Intervention" (2020, 21 citations) demonstrated the first human application of robotic angiography in the carotid circulation, marking a significant leap toward precision, safety, and reduced radiation exposure in neurovascular care. This pioneering study, conducted between March and September 2019, established proof-of-concept for robotic assistance in high-risk extracranial interventions. Dr. Kleiman’s work bridges established revascularization principles with cutting-edge technology, earning him recognition as a leader in translational cardiovascular research. His contributions continue to inspire clinicians and researchers exploring minimally invasive, robotically enhanced treatments for ischemic heart disease and stroke prevention.
