Cardiologist Alain Cribier
Alain Cribier, MD, who was internationally recognized for pioneering innovative treatments in cardiology, particularly the transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) technique, has died at age 79 years, according to an announcement from Rouen University Hospital. The field of interventional cardiology has lost a figure who, according to his peers, was a trailblazer who revolutionized the discipline.”Alain Cribier has just passed away. I had the privilege of working with him for over 35 years. His genius and profound humanity have always struck me,” wrote Hélène Eltchaninoff, MD, head of the Department of Cardiology at the Rouen University Hospital, Rouen, France, on X. “For the Cardiology Department of Rouen University Hospital, his colleagues, friends, family, patients, and for me, the sorrow is immense.”
