About
Stefano Moriggia is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS), with a focused expertise in optimizing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) techniques. His seminal work on vacuum-assisted venous drainage (VAVD) has been instrumental in refining peripheral cannulation strategies, enabling safer, less invasive open-heart procedures. His most-cited paper (61 citations) provides critical clinical evidence on the efficacy of VAVD for managing venous return through smaller cannulae, directly addressing a key technical challenge in MICS. This contribution has helped standardize assisted venous drainage support, reducing the need for full sternotomies and improving patient recovery. Beyond this landmark study, Moriggia’s broader research portfolio continues to shape best practices in extracorporeal circulation, emphasizing hemodynamic stability and surgical precision. His work is widely referenced by cardiac surgeons and perfusionists seeking to enhance the safety and reproducibility of minimally invasive approaches. Through his dedication to refining CPB protocols, Moriggia has left a lasting impact on the evolution of modern cardiac surgery, making complex procedures more accessible and less traumatic for patients worldwide.
