He has for many years been an active member of the PCR board and received several awards in recognition of his achievements
  • Alain Cribier, professor of medicine and former chief of the cardiology department at the university hospital of Rouen, conceived and developed the TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation) procedure, a breakthrough, less invasive interventional treatment for structural heart diseases. Since its creation, the device has been implanted in thousands of patients around the world. He is the author of more than 600 publications and has received several major international medical and scientific awards
  • Jean Fajadet, co-director of the cardiovascular disease department at the Clinique Pasteur in Toulouse, co-director of EuroPCR, one of the most important interventional cardiology congresses in the world.
