61 yrs ago today, radiologist Charles Dotter opened a blocked femoral artery with a catheter. He called it "Angioplasty." Rejected by U.S. surgeons, the concept was embraced in Europe & resulted in Gruentzig's balloon which revolutionized the treatment of CAD. #AngioHistory

ORBITA-STAR at #EuroPCR is a fascinating & successful study of type of chest pain as a predictor of PCI success. Very difficult to ascertain if angina caused by ischemia is what patients felt. This was a concern of Gruentzig's 40 yrs ago! Christopher Rajkumar Rasha Al-Lamee #AngioHistory

As Dr. Geoffrey Hartzler says in this video clip, Andreas #Gruentzig was always thinking about the patient. And #Gruentzig himself addresses these issues in my 1985 interview with him. Remember this was pre-stent, so a serious complication meant emergency CABG. #AngioHistory
