Dr. Marco Cirillo | Interactive Analytics | Best Researcher Award

Non-Profit Polyambulance Foundation | Italy

Dr. Marco Cirillo is a distinguished cardiac surgeon whose career seamlessly bridges clinical excellence and experimental research. After completing classical studies, he graduated in Medicine and Surgery with highest honors  from the University of Bologna and specialized in Cardiac and Great Vessels Surgery. His career has encompassed leadership roles as Head of the Cardiac Surgery Unit in Bologna for six years and the Heart Failure Surgery Unit in Brescia for twelve years. With expertise spanning the full range of traditional cardiac surgery-including mitral repair, coronary bypass, valve replacement, and aortic arch procedures-Dr. Cirillo has performed over 8,000 surgeries as first surgeon. His innovative contributions include the KISS procedure for physiological left ventricular reconstruction, the “Arterial-source No-touch Aorta” technique for off-pump coronary revascularization, and the NINFEA method for annular stabilization in endocarditis. Renowned for his commitment to quality and risk management (JCI accreditation), he continues to advance the field through research on bioprostheses and ventricular assist systems, recognized internationally through publications and awards. In 2025, he earned a Master’s degree in Echocardiography from the University of Verona. Beyond medicine, his intellectual pursuits extend to writing, photography, and cosmology, where he recently published a paper exploring Darwinian natural evolution as applied to the development of the Universe.
