Massimo Medda (Массимо Медда)

Dr. Massimo Medda is an interventional cardiologist in the Cardiology Unit at IRCCS Ospedale Galeazzi - Sant'Ambrogio and also collaborates with Palazzo della Salute in Milan.

He graduated in Medicine and Surgery from the University of Bologna in 1990 and specialized in Cardiology in 1994 with top honors, also from the University of Bologna.

He began his career at the Ospedale Maggiore in Bologna as a cardiologist in the Cardiology Department of Ospedale Maggiore and the Cardiac Surgery Department of Villa Torri in Bologna.

A pioneer in cardiovascular intervention, Dr. Medda has worked continuously with the Gruppo San Donato from 1997 to the present, first at IRCCS Policlinico San Donato and later at Istituto Clinico Sant’Ambrogio.

During this time, he expanded his expertise in cardiovascular intervention, gaining vast experience in coronary, congenital, peripheral, and structural heart disease. His interventional work includes over 25,000 procedures as the primary operator.

Initially, he focused mainly on coronary angioplasties (over 9,500) and peripheral angioplasties (over 2,000). He later extended his practice to treat aortic aneurysm disease with endoprostheses (over 300), carotid angioplasties (over 700), and congenital conditions such as PFO closures, aortic coarctations, and patent ductus arteriosus.

In the last decade, Dr. Medda has further expanded his professional experience to cardiac structural interventions, with a primary focus on treating aortic valve stenosis with percutaneous bioprosthesis (TAVI), performing over 600 total procedures, including around 300 as the primary operator. He also routinely performs mitral valve repair with MitraClip and left atrial appendage closure with devices.

Since 2015, he has been an interventional cardiologist at Istituto Clinico Sant’Ambrogio.

Dr. Medda is the author of publications in prestigious scientific journals and has participated in numerous national and international conferences. From 2005 to 2012, he was a lecturer for the MET (Master in Endovascular Techniques) program, and from 2016 to 2017, he taught in the university specialization course in cardiac surgery and structural cardiology.
