Dear colleagues and friends,
It is with deep sadness that we learned of the passing on of Professor Paolo Muiesan, outstanding liver transplant surgeon, past chair of ELITA, member of the ILTS and ESOT leadership, president of the pediatric committee of ILTS. He had a huge scientific contribution in the field of transplantation with over 300 publications and editor of „Transplantology”, „Transplant International” and „Liver Transplantation”.
He was also well recognized for his humanity, commitment to education and knowledge sharing.
Paolo Muiesan was involved in many educational activities and he acted as a link between ESOT an UEMS where he shaped transplant exam boards.
We were honored to welcome him in September 2019 in Iasi, as a top level speaker within the 13 th International Congress of the Romanian Association of Hepato- Pancreato- Biliary Surgery and Liver Transplantation (ARCHPBTH).
The Romanian transplant surgeons community deplores the premature departure of this brilliant surgeon, international top-class professional and charismatic friend.
Fare well, Dear Paolo !
