About

Matteo Pettinari is a prominent cardiac surgeon whose research has significantly advanced the field of robotic and minimally invasive cardiac surgery, with a particular focus on European practice and outcomes. His work spans robotic mitral valve surgery, coronary revascularization, and the broader adoption of robotic technology across European cardiac centers. Pettinari has played a central role in mapping and shaping the landscape of robotic cardiac surgery in Europe, most notably through his landmark surveys assessing its status in 2017 and 2020, which together have garnered over 130 citations. These studies provided crucial benchmarks for understanding adoption rates, procedural trends, and technological developments across the continent, establishing him as a leading voice in the field's evolution. Beyond epidemiological surveys, Pettinari has contributed clinical expertise through guidelines and recommendations on robotic mitral valve surgery and coronary revascularization, including work endorsed by the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS). His 2024 publication on implementing robotic coronary surgery following an established mitral program reflects his commitment to expanding robotic capabilities systematically and safely. Through rigorous research and active engagement with European surgical societies, Pettinari continues to drive innovation and standardization in robotic cardiac surgery.
