This dynamic round table brings together three of interventional cardiovascular medicine’s leading innovators—Dr. Elazer R. Edelman, Dr. Martin B. Leon, and Dr. Renu Virmani—for an in-depth discussion on the transformational journey from discovery at the bench to bedside applications.
Moderated by Sahil Parikh, the panel will explore the most impactful advances in basic, translational, and clinical science that have enhanced our understanding of cardiovascular pathophysiology and changed our interventional cardiology practices.
From understanding vascular injury and repair to local vascular drug delivery to transforming the field of structural heart disease, our panelists will provide fascinating anecdotes about the past and help us look into the future.
Attendees will hear firsthand perspectives on overcoming obstacles to bring innovations from the lab to the clinic and will gain insights into how multidisciplinary collaboration and cutting-edge research are shaping the future of cardiovascular intervention.
