Advancements in Italian cardiovascular surgery

Overview

Medical professionals in Italy have demonstrated advancements in minimally invasive cardiovascular procedures. In Pisa, a surgical team performed a world-first procedure to replace a degenerated mitral valve bioprosthesis on a beating heart using minimal endoscopic incisions and 3D echocardiographic visualization.

Subsequent developments in other Italian hospitals include the successful treatment of complex aortic arch aneurysms in Padua using microinvasive endovascular techniques and 3D-printed anatomical models. Additionally, at San Luca Hospital, specialists performed a combined intervention involving atrial fibrillation ablation, left atrial appendage closure, and patent foramen ovale closure in a single session.
