Director, Transplant Anesthesia
Dr. Pinciroli received his M.D. cum laude from the University of Milan School of Medicine and Surgery in 2009. He completed his residency in Anesthesia, Critical Care and Pain Medicine at the University of Milan-Bicocca, during which he also served as a postdoctoral research fellow at the Massachusetts General Hospital under Dr. Warren M. Zapol. He later pursued advanced graduate training in Statistics and Epidemiology at Sapienza University of Rome.
Before joining BIDMC in 2020, he was a Staff Anesthesiologist and Intensivist at Niguarda Hospital in Milan and a faculty member of the University of Milan-Bicocca, where he served as Associate Program Director of the Anesthesia, Critical Care and Pain Medicine Residency.
His clinical practice focuses on perioperative care for abdominal organ transplantation — liver, kidney, and pancreas — as well as vascular and thoracic anesthesia. Under his direction, the Division of Transplant Anesthesia has grown to support one of the highest-volume liver transplant programs in the region, and he expanded the combined BILH Transplant Anesthesia Fellowship program to train the next generation of transplant anesthesiologists.
His research interests include perioperative outcomes in liver transplantation, intraoperative hemodynamic monitoring with transesophageal echocardiography, transfusion medicine, mechanical ventilation, and the use of inhaled nitric oxide in critically ill patients. He has authored numerous peer-reviewed publications and book chapters across these fields and is an inducted member of the BIDMC Academy for education.
