40 Years of Angioplasty by PCR
The Live Demonstration Course
|
Andreas Gruentzig not only invented coronary angioplasty; he also invented the live demonstration course. Only months after performing the first PTCA, Gruentzig began welcoming visitors to Zurich.
These pioneers included Richard Myler, John Simpson, Simon Stertzer, Jean Marco, Spencer King and many others. At the last Zurich course in 1980, before he moved to Emory in Atlanta, Gruentzig also invited Charles Dotter, Mason Sones, and Melvin Judkins.
The video below includes home movies of that historical event, filmed by Gruentzig and his assistants.
