Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Gary Rubin, a pioneer in carotid stenting, shares insights from his four-decade career, highlighting his significant contributions to the field. Initially inspired by working with Andreas Grunzig on coronary interventions, Rubin applied his experience to carotid revascularization. Starting in the 1990s at the University of Alabama, he formed a multidisciplinary team, overcoming resistance from traditional surgeons. Although initial attempts faced setbacks, like acute closure and thrombosis, Rubin’s persistence led to the development of successful techniques and devices, ultimately establishing carotid stenting as a standard and effective procedure.
