Dr. Eberhard Grube

¡°Innovative¡± Interventional Cardiologist
Dr. Eberhard Grube (Germany) is a Professor of Medicine and Head of the Center of Innovative Interventions in Cardiology at University Hospital Bonn, Germany, and a Consulting Professor at Stanford University. A pioneer in coronary interventions and TAVR, he has contributed to the development of drug-eluting stents, distal protection devices, and debulking techniques. He has authored over 548 publications, and he received numerous accolades, including the Carl-Ludwig-Ehrenmedaille in 2016 and the ¡°Master of the Masters¡± award at TCTAP in 2017. A memory that stands out is his love for spending time with good friends and enjoying a drink together.

I respect him as being one of the true pioneers in interventional cardiovascular medicine. I believe that his contributions to early-stage interventional device development have been unique and have surpassed any single individual in the world. Eberhard Grube is truly a unique individual within intuitive understanding of how devices work, how they can be applied for specific new clinical applications and has both the technical skills and the cognitive understanding to be able to make the connection so that we can begin the process, the complex process of innovative new devices development. (Martin Bert Leon) Eberhard Grube is one of the most Influential interventional cardiologists of the last decades. No doubt. This applies more or less to every field in interventional cardiology, of course, starting at in-stenting area but touching upon almost every field in interventional cardiologist. Without any doubt, he is best known for his crowning work in the TAVR world, and I think I do not exaggerate to state that the evolution of the TAVR field without him was even more difficult and maybe impossible without Eberhard. (Georg Nickenig)

Well, I have known Eberhard for more than 2 decades, now he is without any doubt one of the leading clinical researchers in interventional cardiology covering all fields including coronary as well as structural and valvular interventions and especially in the field of TAVR and mitral valve repair and mitral valve replacement. He is certainly one of the leaders world-wide. He is an extremely active lecturer giving talks all over the world. Whenever I come to a conference where I¡¯ve not been before Eberhard is already there. He is also I think the first keynote lecturer at the AHA who gave a talk without title, and I like that very much. And he is also famous for his blue glasses, so I recently got these glasses, and I am starting to wear them as he does. Besides all of that he has become a very good friend over the years, so Eberhard I wish you all the best. (Horst Sievert) You are one of my best friends as well. I¡¯ll never forget our meeting during the flight from Frankfurt to Seoul. It¡¯s one of the first TCTAP. That¡¯s when our close friendship started. And now, it¡¯s continuing and getting stronger and stronger. (Antonio Colombo) Eberhard you are returned to your roots back to the university hospital in Bonn with the best thing that couldn¡¯t ever happened to us. Working with you is always great fun. You are a terrific teacher and very, very good friend to us. (Nikos Werner) We¡¯ve known each other for almost 2 decades. During that time, you¡¯ve always been with me and contributed to the growth of TCTAP as well. You are one of my best friends, and really good teacher and mentor for my academic career. Most of all, Eberhard, you are a great human being. That is the reason we all love you. (Seung-Jung Park) I met Eberhard and I knew him in the last ten years when I started my structural heart program. And in my mind, Eberhard was a teacher and a pioneer in interventional structural cardiology. (Corrado Tamburino) You truly deserved for your lifelong pioneer ship in your belief in interventional cardiology. Without you especially TAVI would never have been a success story.
