Interventional cardiologist / Cardiologist
Villa Torri Hospital - Bologna, Italy

Alberto Cremonesi graduated in 1977 from the University of Bologna in Italy.
He continued his post-graduate training in Bologna University where he obtained his fellowship in cardiology in 1980 and bio-engineering in 1986.

Since 1991, Alberto Cremonesi has been the Director of the Interventional Cardiovascular Unit of Maria Cecilia Hospital – GVM Care & Research, Cotignola (Italy). Since 2011, he has been appointed Chief of the Cardiovascular Department in the same hospital.

In the last 25 years, his interventional and research interest has been mainly oriented to the multilevel disease endovascular approach, in the aim of building strong interventional cardiology teams with equal experience in coronary, structural and peripheral interventions.

Challenges in below-the-knee

14 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024

This session focuses on the challenges and strategies for below-the-knee angioplasty. It aims to define the appropriate tools for below-the-knee angioplasty, understand the incremental strategy for antegrade recanalisation and the appropriate timing for retrograde approach, and provide guidance on what to do when everything fails.
