Honoring a Pioneer In Treatments To Save Legs From Amputation | Dr. Marco Manzi

On this episode of The Heart of Innovation, we are continuing we are joining the Global PAD Association in honoring a pioneer in treatment for a disease more prevalent and deadlier than most cancers combined. It's Peripheral Artery Disease, poor circulation in the legs that if left undiagnosed and untreated early can lead to amputation. 

We are presenting the “Lifetime Achievement Award” in PAD care to Dr. Marco Manzi, the pioneering interventional radiologist from Padua, Italy, whose groundbreaking techniques have revolutionized limb salvage worldwide!

For over two decades, Dr. Manzi has been at the forefront of developing and teaching distal revascularization techniques that have transformed “amputation cases” into limb salvage success stories. His work at Policlinico Abano Terme has become a global beacon for physicians seeking to master advanced endovascular techniques.

What truly distinguishes Dr. Manzi is his unwavering philosophy: “Why not try?” When others see amputation as inevitable, he sees an opportunity to innovate. This approach has not only saved countless limbs but has inspired a generation of interventionalists worldwide.

The impact of his teaching extends far beyond his own patients. Through the CLI-Courses (CLI-C) he founded in 2017, his live demonstrations at major conferences across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, and the more than 50 publications he’s authored, Dr. Manzi has created a global community dedicated to advancing limb salvage techniques.

As many of the world’s most accomplished limb salvage specialists will attest, time spent learning in Dr. Manzi’s lab has been transformative for their practice. His willingness to share his innovative tools and techniques has elevated the entire field of interventional limb salvage.

Join us on September 6th for an in-depth interview with Global PAD Association CEO Kym McNicholas and Interventional Cardiologist Dr. John Phillips with Dr. Manzi on The Heart of Innovation to explore how his pioneering work continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in limb preservation!
