Luca Verganti, 45, was appointed director of the neuroradiology department at the Carlo Poma Hospital in Mantova on 17 May, succeeding Enrico Piovan who retired after several years of service. Verganti comes from the neuroradiology unit of the Modena health authority, where he has worked since 2011, focusing on interventional angiography and the provincial pathway for acute ischemic stroke treatment, including thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy.
