In conversation with Maria Antonella Ruffino

954

Vascular interventional radiologist Maria Antonella Ruffino (Interventional Radiology, IIMSI, Ente Ospedaliero Cantonale, Lugano, Switzerland) discusses her experience from the “men’s world” of endovascular interventions, sharing insights from her innovative career with Interventional News.

Tracking her experiences from training to be a surgeon, to working alongside pioneers of vascular interventional radiology, Ruffino describes the challenges women have faced and still face, and calls for broader opportunities to be offered to women in the field. She believes: “You can be a good doctor or a bad doctor, but not because you are a man or a woman” and seeks to encourage more individuals to join the specialty.
