New York, United States · HCM surgery tailored to the valve apparatus, with emerging robotic access
NYU’s HCM programme combines medical treatment, imaging and surgery. Swistel’s work addresses elongated leaflets and papillary attachments; Scheinerman is named in the hospital’s first reported robotic trans-mitral myectomy. The valve service also includes Kodali’s transcatheter expertise.
NYU names Daniel Swistel as surgical director and Joshua Scheinerman as associate surgical director.

Swistel’s resect–plicate–release work combines myectomy with selected leaflet shortening and papillary release.
The hospital names Scheinerman, Grossi and Nampi in a robotic trans-mitral case with discharge on postoperative day four.
Personal operations · Cumulative; counting cutoff not stated
Personal experience with septal myectomy; associated mitral leaflet and papillary-muscle anatomy may also be treated.

cardiac surgeon
Daniel Swistel directs HCM surgery at NYU Langone. His published resect–plicate–release approach combines septal muscle removal with selected leaflet shortening and release of abnormal papillary attachments.

interventional cardiologist
Susheel Kodali is an NYU Langone interventional cardiologist specialising in transcatheter valve therapies. His trial work is relevant to severe tricuspid leakage, where symptom benefit must be weighed against bleeding and pacemaker risks.

Joshua Scheinerman is associate surgical director of NYU’s HCM programme. The hospital identifies him as a lead operator in its first reported robotic trans-mitral myectomy, performed through right-chest ports.

A 2015 retrospective study included 77 myectomy patients: 50 had leaflet plication and 50 had papillary-muscle release. Echocardiographic follow-up averaged 9.5 months, with wide variation.
How to interpret this: The operations were performed in 2006–2012 at Mount Sinai/St. Luke’s–Roosevelt. They are historical team results associated with Swistel’s work, not current NYU case volume or a randomized comparison.
Read alongside Susheel K. Kodali’s profile →
In the 400-patient TRISCEND II randomized trial, replacement plus medical therapy improved the one-year composite outcome, mainly through symptoms and quality of life. Severe bleeding and new pacemakers were more frequent with replacement.
How to interpret this: Device-specific, selected-patient, multicentre evidence. It does not establish a survival advantage or Kodali-specific success rate, and is not a comparison of replacement with tricuspid repair or surgery.

Read alongside Joshua A. Scheinerman’s profile →
The hospital describes trans-mitral myectomy through right-chest ports, led by Joshua Scheinerman with Eugene Grossi and Robert Nampi. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 4.
How to interpret this: One reported robotic case is not a personal cohort or a success-rate estimate. Do not transfer NYU’s more-than-600 myectomy programme count to this surgeon or robotic method.
