Cesare Gianturco (February 12, 1905 – August 25, 1995) was an Italian-American physician and one of the earliest contributors to the specialty of interventional radiology.
After many years as the radiology chief at the Carle Clinic in Illinois and a faculty member at the University of Illinois College of Medicine in Chicago, Gianturco moved to Houston, where he conducted research at MD Anderson Hospital.
Several medical innovations bear his name, including an early coronary stent, a wool coil that could be deployed inside blood vessels to stop bleeding, and a filter to trap blood clots in the venous system before they reached the heart.
