Episode 8 : Part B - Evolution in cardiac surgery with Dr. Celmeta
From Accidental Discoveries to Life-Saving Innovations
Many significant medical discoveries were accidents, such as Fleming's discovery of penicillin in 1929. Similarly, in 1958, Dr. Mason Sones from the Cleveland Clinic accidentally injected contrast into a patient’s right coronary artery, leading to a cardiac arrest. However, this incident allowed the first detailed visualization of the coronary artery, eventually leading to the development of coronary angiography, which remains the gold standard today.
Dr Bleri CELMETA highlight these advancements, and explains the evolutions from open procedures to minimally invasive and robotic techniques.
Dr. Bleri Celmeta is a cardiac surgeon operating on the Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery Unit in Galeazzi-Sant'Ambrogio Hospital (Milan, Italy). He graduated in Medicine and Surgery at the University of Padova-Italy in 2014, then completed his residency program in Cardiac Surgery in the same university in 2020. His professional background included also a fellowship in Cardiac and Thoracic Surgery in the University Hospital of Nantes-France (2019-2020).
He is the author of numerous publications and conference presentations with particular interest in minimally invasive cardiac surgery, and review editor of various international Journals (Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, Frontiers in Surgery, Innovations: Technology and Techniques in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, among others). Dr. Celmeta is a member of the Working Group on Cardiovascular Surgery - European Society of Cardiology (ESC), Italian Cardiac Surgery Society (SICCH) and Italian Society of Echocardiography and Cardiovascular Imaging (SIECVI).
