This installment from SCAI's series, "Pioneers in Interventional Cardiology," features @Tim Henry, MD, MSCAI, @Cindy Grines, MD, MSCAI, and @William O’Neill, MD, MSCAI, who share their journeys, challenges, and the impact that primary PCI for STEMI has had since its birth.
Their stories take listeners through the three eras of STEMI care (the thrombolytic era, the facilitated and rescue PCI era, and the primary PCI era) that ultimately led to the adoption of 24-hour Cath labs, while highlighting the challenges and resiliency required to remake the field of interventional cardiology.
