About
Stefano Di Domenico is a pioneering transplant surgeon whose work has advanced the frontiers of renal transplantation, particularly in complex and high-risk cases. His research focuses on overcoming vascular and immunological barriers to transplantation, with major contributions to ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation and the innovative use of alternative vascular conduits. In his landmark 2005 case report, Di Domenico demonstrated the first use of the splenic vessels for vascular anastomosis in an ABO-incompatible renal transplant for a patient with complete thrombosis of the vena cava—a procedure that had previously been considered technically unfeasible. This work, cited 10 times, opened new possibilities for patients with severe vascular pathology who were otherwise deemed inoperable. Di Domenico’s contributions have directly expanded the donor pool and improved outcomes for sensitized patients, showcasing his commitment to pushing the boundaries of surgical innovation. His achievements underscore a career dedicated to solving the most challenging problems in transplant surgery, making him a respected figure in the field.
