Gaetano Thiene (born July 1, 1947) is an Italian Emeritus Professor of Cardiovascular Pathology at the University of Padua[1] where he graduated in 1972. He is in the list of the Top Italian Scientists.[2][3] He achieved post-graduate Diploma both in Cardiology and Pathology, which allowed him to better understand the physiopathology of morbid entities, as Consultant at the University hospital.[4]

Dr. Thiene set up an interdisciplinary research team, from basic sciences to clinical wards ("from bench to bed"), with Cardiovascular Pathology playing the leading role, thus promoting translational medicine.[5] He implemented a Ph.D. course, entitled "Translational Medicine G.B. Morgagni".

Another significant step forward in applied pathology was the origin of Surgical Cardiovascular Pathology,[6] first in Europe, namely the histopathological examination of cardiovascular specimens removed at surgery for a precise nosological identification of the underlying disease. The role blew up after the first cardiac transplantation performed in Padua and first in Italy, with the cardiac rejection monitoring with endomyocardial biopsy.[7]

Last but not least, congenital heart disease had been the first research interest of Dr. Thiene, after the advent of angiography and echocardiography as diagnostic tools and of extracorporeal circulation for open heart surgery. A registry of specimens, with heart malformations, was set up since the '70s for teaching and research purposes. It now consists of 2.000 specimens, preserved in single jars, with all the date and pictures recorded in electronic files. Nowadays it is probably the best existing worldwide.[8][9]
