His Catheter study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Pulmonary vein, Ablation and Left atrium.

Between 2003 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Dissecting cannula and methods of use thereof (541 citations)
  • Devices for installing stasis reducing means in body tissue (301 citations)
  • Vacuum coagulation probes (252 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Surgery
  • Electrical engineering
  • Radiology

His primary areas of investigation include Biomedical engineering, Body tissue, Surgery, Atrial Appendage and Anatomy. His Biomedical engineering research incorporates elements of Nanotechnology and Suction. His studies in Body tissue integrate themes in fields like Electromagnetic radiation and Lesion.

His work on Cannula, Dissection, Soft tissue and Catheter as part of general Surgery research is often related to Lung resections, thus linking different fields of science. Atrial Appendage is integrated with Resection, Aneurysm, Tissue cavity and Reduction in his research. His study in Anatomy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Fixation and Lateral compression.
