Dr. Mariano Palena
Expert care for Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia (CLTI) and diabetic foot complications—exploring alternatives to amputation whenever possible.
Dr. Mariano Palena is an internationally recognized Interventional Radiologist specializing in endovascular treatment for limb salvage. With extensive experience in managing complex cases of CLTI and diabetic foot, he works across leading vascular centers in Italy, Spain, and Bulgaria.

Throughout my time as his patient, he has carefully explained each stage of the treatment to me, instilling confidence and reassurance. The procedures have always been performed with great skill and precision. Throughout all these years, I have always appreciated his availability and great human sensitivity. I consider him a point of reference in his field of expertise and highly recommend him to anyone suffering from these conditions.

I owe everything to Dr. Palena's courage, absolute professionalism, and humanity in the face of such a critical situation, and his determination to completely and successfully recover the bypassed artery. And not only during the masterful intervention, but also in the thoughtful post-hospitalization care. [...]
