Dr. Gary S. Mintz
IVUS, IVUS!
Dr. Gary S. Mintz (USA) is renowned for his pioneering work in intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and his significant contributions to interventional cardiology. With over 30,000 patients studied using IVUS, he has made groundbreaking observations on the pathology, pathogenesis, and mechanisms of coronary atherosclerosis, catheter-based interventions, and restenosis. His prolific academic career includes authoring over 1,000 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters, along with more than 850 abstracts. Currently, he serves as the Senior Medical Advisor at the Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF) in New York and is a co-director of TCT. In recognition of his substantial contributions to TCTAP, he was honored with the “Master of the Masters” award in 2014. One memory that lingers in my mind is his impressive singing talent at karaoke.
His contributions to the interventional cardiology are really inestimable. Not only has he taught us about a course how to use IVUS to advance and prove outcome through patients in coronary artery disease, but even more so it’s been his seminal insights into the process of atherosclerosis that has led to the development far behind what happens in cathlab. When people think of IVUS, people think of Gary Mintz. (Gregg W. Stone) So for me, Dr Mintz, he is my long-time mentor and why I like him is because he is strong and he is strong and he is strong. Every day I learn from him we should not never give up. (Akiko Maehara) Your work is inspiring me since my early day, since medical student. But it is really today very much older than and I realize it is not only the work but it’s much more your outstanding personality who really deserved utmost respect. (Eveline Regar) What’s been so impressive is the scientific regard with which you approach your work and a fact that you have kept open mind which is allowed you to develop so many novel concepts that are profoundly affected the way we treat our patient in the cathlab. And you’ve achieved all this with such grace and humanity. (William F. Fearon) I have a lot of memories with Gary because I’ve known him for almost 20 years. For me and my team he was the best teacher and mentor as he was smart, wise, and always generous with his time. (Seung-Jung Park)
