Giancarlo Rastelli

Surgeons and Perioperative Specialists

Giancarlo Rastelli was an Italian-born cardiac surgeon, born on 25 June 1933 and dead on 2 February 1970, at the age of thirty-six, of cancer. He worked for the University of Parma and later at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, where at the time of his death he headed cardiovascular surgical research. He is remembered as the creator of the Rastelli procedure, an operation that still carries his name. The Catholic Church regards him as a servant of God, and the process leading toward his beatification was opened in 2005.
