Gianfranco Butera is director of congenital interventional cardiology and pediatric cardiologist at Bambin Gesù Hospital since January 2021. He has been the lead in the same field at St Thomas's and Evelina Childrens' Hospital since november 2018.  He previously worked at San Donato Milanese Hospital and Hospital Necker Enfants Malades – Paris.  He graduated in both Pediatrics and Cardiology in Italy, and completed his training in Pediatric Cardiology in Paris (France). He is active in numerous professional national and international scientific societies, including the European Association of Pediatric Cardiology and the Society of Angiography and Catheterization.  He served as Chairman of the AEPC’s Interventional Cardiology Working Group.  His clinical and research interests are focused mainly on interventional cardiology in children and adults with congenital heart disease, and he has published more than 200 papers in peer-reviewed journals. He is the Editor of widely published international books on interventional and fetal cardiology and has been a Visiting Professor at various Universities, including Padova, Modena, Parma, Milan, Harvard, Bordeaux, Bejing.Alessandro Frigiola is Director of the Pediatric Cardiac Surgery and Congenital Heart Disease in Adults Department– IRCCS Policlinico San Donato, and of the International Cooperation Department.He is a leading expert in cardiac surgery for congenital and acquired heart diseases both for children and adults, and has performed over 12,000 surgical procedures. He specializes in surgical repair of the mitral valve and the aorta (over 1,000 operations).An AATS member, he is one of the most experienced Italian and European surgeons for the Ross procedure (replacement of aortic valve with the pulmonary valve from the same patient). For over 25 years, he has been engaged in international cooperations for the development of cardiac surgery in 18 countries around the globe, performing more than 400 surgical missions.
