"I've done it!" On 16 September 1977, Andreas Grüntzig made history: he carried out the first #angioplasty, and changed the lives of millions of patients forever.
Standing on the shoulders of the giants that came before him, his vision and determination drove an entire new field of cardiology: Interventional Cardiology
Listen to this description of his incredible journey by Jean Marco, who knew him and was also a pioneer in the field. Jean Marco carried out his first angioplasty in 1979 and was inspired by Gruntzig's example to launch a LIVE demonstration Course in 1982.
This ultimately paved the way for the first PCR Course in 1989, founded with Jean Fajadet in Toulouse, and gave birth to PCR as we know it today.
