Ferdinand Kiemeneij
EDUCATION AND AWARDS
Ferdinand Kiemeneij first began applying transradial access to angioplasty and stent placement procedures as early as 1992. This led to stenting on an outpatient basis in 1994. Since then, Dr. Kiemeneij has been lecturing and teaching physicians the transradial technique, as well as its many advantages over transfemoral access. More than two decades later, the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) gave the transradial approach the highest degree of recommendation over transfemoral access for coronary angiography and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) in patients with Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS).
He is author of numerous clinical articles and a book entitled "Transradial Coronary Interzentions". Dr. Kiemeneij has built his practice by combining writing, proctoring, lecturing, and training fellow physicians the world over.
ACTIVE AREAS OF RESEARCH
Transradial intervention is now recognised as a safer and patient-friendly alternative to transferal access, with evidence of reduced bleeding complications in the context of antithrombotic treatment. Ferdinand Kiemeneij is internationally recognised as the father of transradial intervention and a passionate teacher and mentor.
