Surgical experience

More than 5000 major cardiac surgery operations of which over 2500 performed as first operator. Mitral and tricuspid repair, minimally invasive valve surgery and mechanical circulatory support (LVAD/BiVAD/TAH) represent areas of specific interest and expertise.

• Clinical responsibilities From 2017 he is the Director of Cardiac surgery, Innovation and Research at San Raffaele University Hospital, Milan, Italy.

Since 2009 he has been responsible for the “Heart failure surgery Unit and Mechanical Circulatory Support Programme” of the Department of Cardiac Surgery, San Raffaele University Hospital, Milan, Italy. After a training period spent as a Fellow on mechanical support systems at the German Heart Institute in Berlin, he started (in close collaboration with the Cardiac Surgery Intensive Care Unit), a comprehensive program of mechanical circulatory support at San Raffaele Hospital in Milan. This program is currently


consolidated and includes the use of paracorporeal systems (ECMO venous- arterial and veno-venous, LVAD/RVAD/BiVAD type Levitronix-CentriMag), partially implantable systems (Incor, Jarvik, HeartMate II and III, Heartware) and total artificial heart (CardioWest). Currently approximately 100 patients/year are treated with an ECMO system in our Unit and more about 100 70 patients received an LVAD as destination therapy. The experience in this field is confirmed by the role of "proctor" for implantation of the HeartMate II and III left ventricular assist system (Thoratec) covered from the year 2015. He has obtained the following implantation certifications:

• SynCardia

Total artificial heart phase I training Germany 24th February 2012

• HeartMate III Masterclass

National Research Cardiac Surgery Center Astana, Kazakhstan June 30th-July 1st 2015

National and international executive offices

Over the years he has served in different roles the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), the European Association for Cardiothoracic Surgery (EACTS), the American Heart Association (AHA), the Italian Society of Cardiac Surgery (SICCH) and the Heart Valve Society (HVS). In particular he has been

➢ Chairman of the Working Group on Cardiovascular Surgery of the European Society of Cardiology.

➢ Member of the “Acquired Cardiac Disease Domain” of the European

Association for Cardiothoracic Surgery

➢ Coordinator of the “ Committee for Guidelines and Position Papers" and member of the “Committee for the relationships with the European Association for Cardiothoracic Surgery” of the Italian Society of Cardiac Surgery

➢ "Coordinator" (liaison) for Europe of the Leadership Committee of the

Commission of the Council on Cardiovascular Surgery and Anesthesia of the American Heart Association.

➢ As a member of the "Congress Programme Committes" (CPC) of the

ESC, EACTS and HVS he has systematically participated in the organization of the related annual meeting scientific programs.

Guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery He has been a member of "The Joint Task Force on the Management of Valvular Heart Disease of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS)” (version 2012 and 2017) and of the Task Force of the ESC Guidelines on “Cardiovascular disease during


pregnancy”(version 2018). He has participated in drafting the following European guidelines on valvular disease, infective endocarditis, pregnancy, dual antiplatelet therapy:
