What do the very first TAVRs, rotational atherectomies, and angioplasty studies have in common? Dr. William O’Neill, an esteemed interventional cardiologist whose collaboration and innovation have shaped the field of interventional cardiology.
Dr. O’Neill joins Dr. Babar Basir to detail the evolution from bedrest-era MI care to intracoronary streptokinase and the advent of #reperfusion, his early exposure to balloon angioplasty, and the pivotal studies that proved primary PCI’s superiority over thrombolytics amidst controversy. He explores how physician–engineer collaboration enabled innovations such as aortic valvuloplasty and early US TAVR, including the procedural challenges and regulatory hurdles faced.
