With the Nobel Prize ceremony taking place on December 10, our History of Cardiac Catheterization series begins with Dr. Werner Forssman, winner of the 1956 #NobelPrize for Medicine.

In 1929, Dr. Forssman performed the first human cardiac #catheterization. He placed himself under local anesthesia, inserted a urinary catheter into his antecubital vein and passed it safely to his heart, recording the results on X-Ray film. His successful experiment led to the development of this procedure, which has contributed greatly to the treatment of heart disease.

We at #Terumo Interventional Systems celebrate Dr. Forssman and the work of his predecessors, and will continue to deliver products and solutions to support medical professionals in #healthcare innovations. ?
