• 2000: Published two personal experiences: the “Microchannel Technique” and the “Subintimal Tracking and Re-entry Technique With Contrast Guidance.”
• 2016: Described the “Modified Contrast Microinjection Technique” (also known as "Carlino Technique") for facilitating the recanalization of chronic coronary occlusions.
• 2017: Published a study on a technique facilitating the guidewire externalization phase during retrograde treatment of chronic coronary occlusions.
• 2018: Introduced the “Antegrade Fenestration and Re-entry” technique for chronic coronary occlusion recanalization and the “Microcatheter Knuckle Technique” for treating complex chronic coronary occlusions.
