Interested in learning about the origins, evolution and future of the interventional cardiology field, follow the traveling Expo arround the world and Join the conversation about the history of angioplasty on Twitter by using the hashtag #angio40

Patrick Serruys has been instrumental in developing several key innovations in coronary angioplasty, including drug-eluting stents and quantitative coronary angiography. Furthermore, he became interested in developing bioresorbable scaffolds when he felt guilty about implanting a metallic stent into such “delicate biological structure” as the coronary vessel.

There were many precursors to Andreas Grüntzig whose work made his achievement possible. The Exposition features a gallery of six of these pioneers. One such visionary was Charles Dotter (1920–1985), who in 1963, with the first use of a diagnostic catheter for a therapeutic purpose, invented...

Philippe Gaspard, an interventional cardiologist with over 35 years’ experience, was a firsthand witness of angioplasty’s early years. In his book “The History of Coronary Angioplasty” the author guides us through the field’s evolution while offering personal insights into the “paradigm shift” that followed the work...
