 Welcome to Turning Point, a new podcast series brought to you by EuroIntervention as part of our 20th anniversary celebration. In this series, we sit down with clinicians, researchers, mentors, and innovators to explore the pivotal moments that defined their journeys and shaped the evolution of interventional cardiology. Through their stories, we reflect on the values that connect us: curiosity, education, collaboration, and a shared dedication to improving patient care.
