DISRUPT CAD III Q&A with Co-PI Dr. Jonathan Hill

Posted by Emma Miller on Oct 15, 2020 9:35:37 AM

Following its presentation as a late-breaking clinical at TCT Connect and simultaneous publication in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC) we sat down with Dr. Jonathan Hill, Consultant Cardiologist at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London, to get his perspective on the results, how they build on CAD I & II outcomes, and where they fit into clinician’s daily decision-making process when treating calcified lesions. We hope you enjoy his perspective.

After all, you won’t be successful in introducing a new disruptive technology if you’re marching to the same drumbeat as everyone else.
