Interview
I spent most of my life studying and caring for the heart. We have made a lot of progress with respect to the past. From traditional cardiac surgery we have moved to less invasive techniques, which are useful to guarantee the success of the treatment. And in the Center of Pedara we are at the forefront, for the medical and nursing staff and for the instruments. Technologically, and I say this with pride, we are at the forefront of Italy
Coronary Bypass Surgery
The purpose of the surgical treatment is to overcome the obstacle constituted by a critical narrowing (stenosis) in one of the coronary arteries through a bridge (bypass) that restores the blood flow over the obstacle, thus favoring the supply of oxygenated blood to the myocardial cells of the coronary area.
