Using a Catheter-Based Approach for Structural Heart Disease Treatment
Andreas Gruentzig is credited with pioneering the field of interventional cardiology. In the 1970s, he performed a percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. In the years that have followed, medical science has developed balloons, stents, steering wires and other devices that allow percutaneous coronary intervention to be performed on just about every patient who has some form of coronary artery disease.
