O autorze

Dr. Vida is a surgeon in the Department of Cardiac, Thoracic and Vascular Sciences at the Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Unit at the University of Padua Medical School in Italy. In 2007 while spending time at the Children's Hospital in Boston and Harvard Medical School, Dr. Vida was introduced to his first case of Scimitar Syndrome. He was given the opportunity to coordinate 4 multicenter studies (2 on national and 2 on international basis). These studies focused on the treatment of patients with this syndrome that were finalized with 3 scientific publications (plus one on going, the international scimitar registry collection data of 501 patients with this syndrome). Dr. Vida has also been invited by numerous societies to present the results of his experience. His major research areas include congenital heart disease in adults, congenital heart surgery, minimally invasive surgery, and Scimitar Syndrome.
