The Carotid and Supra–Aortic Trunks – Angioplasty and Stenting of the Diagnosis.

Dr. Michel Henry practices interventional cardiology at the Cabinet de Cardiologie in Nancy, France. Dr. Edward B. Diethrich, an internationally renowned cardiovascular surgeon who has practiced for more than 40 years, is regarded as one of the world's pioneers in heart disease diagnosis and innovative cardiovascular and endovascular treatments. Dr. Diethrich is the Medical Director and Chief of Cardiovascular Surgery at the Arizona Heart Hospital, where he performs state-of-the-art endovascular procedures using the latest devices, many of which he helped design and test in clinical trials. Dr. Antonios Polydorou is chief of cardiology at the Evagelismos General Hospital, Athens. Dr. Polydorou performed the first successful treatment of a renal artery aneurysm (RAA) in October 2007.
