Spencer B. King performed some of the first coronary angioplasty procedures in the USA—having recently received a thank-you from the first patient that he treated. He tells The Daily Wire that the steerable guidewire, rather than the stent, was the greatest advance in angioplasty and that...

Andreas Grüntzig’s vision and perspicacity drove an entire new field of cardiology. This page is dedicated to his personal life and accomplishments with a dedicated tribute from Spencer B. King III

In 2002, Alain Cribier revolutionised the field by introducing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) as a complementary technique to surgery. Find out more about his early life and studies.

On April 16, 2002, at the Charles Nicolle University Hospital in Rouen, France, the Interventional Cardiologist, Professor Alain Cribier performed the first transcatheter aortic valve replacement procedure in the world. He used a Prosthetic valve thrombosis (PVT) percutaneous heart valve.

The transformation in the field of interventional cardiology is unprecedented. Today, interventional cardiology encompasses an ever-growing list of diagnostic and therapeutic percutaneous procedures performed in the cathlab.

 
Forty years ago, Andreas Grüntzig performed the world’s first coronary angioplasty (PCI)—fundamentally changing the management of coronary artery disease. Bernhard Meier, who worked with A. Grüntzig and actually identified the patient for the procedure, talks to The Daily Wire about this first procedure and about his...

Celebrating 40 years of Angioplasty, one of modern medicine's greatest adventures at EuroPCR 2017! Watch the video presented at the Opening Ceremony - emotion guaranteed.

Antonio Colombo believes that understanding the history of angioplasty is important because it enables you to know “how things are shaped, how difficulties are overcome, and how you are able to use intelligence, persistence, and knowledge to achieve goals”. In this interview with The Daily Wire,...

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...
