MARIAN IONESCU
Monte Carlo, MONACO
Romanian and British professor of medicine and cardiac surgeon working in the UK. He is an inventor of surgical equipment, particularly artificial heart valves. Passionate about literature and philosophy and an amateur climber.
Areas of scientific expertise: cardiac surgery, medical devices specific to cardiovascular and cardiac surgery [valves, bioprostheses, etc.] In order to assess in real time the condition of patients who have undergone valve surgery, Marian Ionescu created the concept of performing “multiple post-operative hemodynamic investigations”. In the field of congenital heart disease, Ionescu was the first surgeon to reconstruct a single ventricle heart and continued to use various original techniques to eliminate such abnormalities. For those suffering from cyanotic congenital heart disease, he designed and built two original devices: the ‘mono-cusp patch’ for the correct widening of the occluded pulmonary artery and a valvular conduit (a tube containing a tri-cuspid valve) in cases of discontinuities between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. He currently lives in Monte Carlo, Monaco.

Areas of scientific expertise: cardiovascular surgery
His scientific and operational activity has focused on all vascular surgery pathologies, but especially on carotid surgery (more than 2600 procedures) and thoracic and abdominal aorta surgery with more than 3000 operations performed. Although his major experiences until the mid 90′ were in open surgery, thanks to his clear-sightedness and curiosity, he also developed an endovascular surgery unit, learning not only the mechanical means of endovascular procedures, but also the pathophysiology and mechanisms involved. He is now Professor of Vascular Surgery at the Department of Surgical Sciences at the University of Genoa, where he has developed research projects, especially in biological and cellular research in vascular pathologies. As a result of this particular interest in vascular research, he created and is Director of a “Vascular Biobank for Research” of the Tissue Bank of Genoa; he also developed and is Director of the Laboratory of Vascular Biology of the University Department and Director of the PhDs in Vascular Biology and Experimental and Clinical Vascular Surgery of the University of Genoa.

PhD University Professor, Oral Medicine, Dentistry; researcher and innovator in the field of oral implantology; native of Chernivtsi. Director of the Sévelin Forum, Honorary President and Founder of the International Society for Oral Rehabilitation.
Areas of scientific expertise: His work is based on the creation of implants that do not allow the release of oxides into bone tissue, such as those from metal implants. His first ceramic implant, created in 1960, is the CBS (Crystalline Bone Screw) alumina oxide implant. Author of numerous publications in different languages: New Aspects of Implantology – The CBS Implant (French, 1963), Neue Aspekte der Implantologie (Medica Verlag – 1975), Oral Rehabilitation – Premises for Success – Step by Step Operative Technique (1974), Oral Rehabilitation – Voraussetzungen für einen Erfolg – Technik Schritt für Schritt (1977), Occlusion – The NOR System (1990). He is currently working on a prosthetic and case atlas. It has recently perfected a new material, TZP zirconia, which is five times stronger than previous materials. His recent work has resulted in the development of the Zirconium Milenium implant and robotics-based equipment, which allows a precision approach and intervention during implantation by computerising the surgical procedure. Author of numerous lectures given all over the world, always accompanied by practical and surgical demonstrations of bioceramic implants. The professor has dedicated 13 years of his life to teaching at the Fortbildung Institute in Karlsruhe, Germany, and since 1985 has been a full professor at the University Pierre and Marie Curie Paris VI, Institute of Dentistry and Maxillofacial Surgery.
