  • Summary

  • In this episode, Chiara De Biase and Jean Marco discuss how Eberhard Zeitler, inspired by Dotter's work, introduced the method in Germany. Grüntzig, known for his solid medical background and empathetic demeanor, received crucial support from colleagues. His determination, teamwork, and commitment led to the development of a flexible catheter with a non-compliant balloon, which resulted in the first human transluminal balloon angioplasty in 1974. Stay tuned to learn how he then moved from the leg to the coronaries in the next episode!
