Dr. Michele Di Blasi graduated from the University of
Florence Medical School and married Dr. Tina Pilumeli Di Blasi.

They both moved to Cleveland, Ohio, where he graduated from his internship in Internal Medicine at Mount Sinai Medical Center at Case Western Reserve Medical School. Subsequently, he specialized in Cardiology and Electrophysiology at the University of Vermont in Burlington. He then worked as an attending cardiologist in Oklahoma City, implanting Pacemakers and AICD’s and doing EPS ablations. He also learned how to do cardiac and peripheral angioplasties and stent implants.

In 2001, he moved back to Italy, working in Novara at the
Limb Salvage Center where he mastered his skills in doing
complex angioplasties and stent implants to the lower
extremities for limb salvage. Subsequently, he became
Chief of Cardiology and started the Invasive Cardiology
Program in Augusta, Siracusa, Italy. At the University of
Leicester, England, he learned a new procedure for limb
salvage from its inventor, Dr. Bolia.

In 2003, he and his family returned to the states. Dr. Di
Blasi, together with VVRMC administration, implemented
a first class Catheterization Laboratory where he currently
acts as Medical Director. In Del Rio, Dr. Di Blasi has done
many coronary angiograms, carotid angiograms, lower
extremities PTA, pacemaker and defibrillator implants.

The team that he works with is compassionate and highly
skilled. The complications have been minimal, and the
service is second to none. In the office, he provides many
non-invasive tests such as EKG’s, ultrasounds, nuclear
studies, and EECP treatment to diagnose and treat heart
disease.
