I have been involved in a number of trials aimed at reducing the restenosis after non surgical coronary interventions using drugs, red light cold laser and specially coated stents. Active Investigator of GpIIb/IIIa blockers. Many of there trials are international multicentric studies. Initiated the programme of drug eluting stents. Investigator in a number of multicenteric international studies on this breakthrough technology.
