Dr Olaf's main field of interest is intervenions in structural and congenital heart disease with extensive and long experience in TAVI with Edwards, and Corvalve (>300 cases), Mitraclip (>350 cases), Mitral Carillon, LAA occlusion with Watchman, St. Jude ACP and Coherex Wavecrest. VSD, ASD and PFO occlusion with different devices and other procedure in structural heart disease. Transseptal and transapical closure of paravalvular leaks. He also has PCI experience. He regards himself as one of the opinion leader in the field of structural heart disease. As such he implanted the first Mitraclip in Europe and performed the first percutaneous implantation of a bioprothesis (CardiaQ) in a native mitral valve worldwide. He was involved in many first-in-man experience with different device like the direct-flow aortic valve, Carillon mitral device, Wavecrest LAA occluder and ACP LAA occluder, DC devices. He is involved in device development in precinical phases and he is also a principle investigator of trials in the field like for e.g fort he wavecrest device. He has the largest worldwide experience in the percutaneous treatment of mitral regurgitation with more than 350 cases. He is a faculty member in largest international congresses in the field, course director of the PCR valve course, live case operator on many congresss and authors of many papers in high-ranked peer-reviewed journals. Editor of a book in the field of mitral valve treatment. Large experience in international teaching and proctoring in the field in US, Asia and Europe.

Diagnosis and treatment of diseases and specializes in congenital heart disease, especially in interventional pediatric cardiology. Over 1200 interventional cardiology cases accomplished.

Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Toho University Ohashi Medical Center, Tokyo

Started performing percutaneous ASD closure as the first operator among whole adult interventional cardiologists in Japan qualified by JPIC: Japanese Pediatric Interventional Cardiology.

Established SCJ: Structure Club Japan, which is the first large society focusing on Structural heart disease intervention in Japan, and is working as the representative.

Dr. Hijazi is an interventional cardiologist who specializes in treating congenital heart disease in both children and adults. He is a pioneer in the non-surgical repair of congenital heart defects.

After graduation from medical school and upon completion of his internship in Amman, Jordan, Dr. Hijazi came to the United States to begin postgraduate training in the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health at Yale University, where he was subsequently awarded a Masters of Public Health. He remained at Yale University where he completed a residency in Pediatrics and a fellowship in Pediatric Cardiology. Upon completion of his fellowship training, he joined the faculty at Tufts University School of Medicine as an Assistant Professor. In 1997 he was promoted to Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Medicine, and in 1999 Dr. Hijazi accepted his current faculty appointment at the University of Chicago as Professor of Pediatrics and Medicine. He has been successful in building a preeminent Pediatric Cardiology Program, which is nationally and internationally recognized for its outstanding clinical service and innovative technologies. In 2007 Dr. Hijazi became the Director of the Rush Center for Congenital and Structural Heart Disease at Rush University Medical Center.

His major area of interest is in the development of techniques and catheters/devices to help treat or cure congenital cardiac disease without open-heart surgery. He has more than 280 published articles, five books, over 20 book chapters and more than 200 abstracts. In 1997 he published the results of the initial clinical trials using the new Amplatzer septal occluder device for atrial septal defects (ASD). He serves on the editorial board of at least 10 journals and in 2013, he launched a new journal 'Journal of Structural Heart Disease'.

Subsequently he has been a primary investigator in testing the Amplatzer family of intracardiac devices in the United States. Dr. Hijazi wrote the protocols for these trials and presented the results of these studies to the Food and Drug Administration. The trials have involved catheter closure of atrial septal defects, patent ductus arteriosus, patent foramen ovale (PFO) and ventricular septal defects. These studies resulted in the FDA approving the first ASD closure device for use in children in 2001. This study was published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology in 2002.

His work has not been limited to the non-surgical repair of cardiac defects. Dr. Hijazi was the first to describe how intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) can be used to assist in guiding transcatheter closure of ASD/PFO.

His annual Pediatric Interventional Cardiac Symposium (PICS) is a four-day conference which brings together a select international faculty who provide demonstrations, live operations and the latest research breakthroughs in interventional cardiology for congenital heart disease. This symposium attracts more than 750 interventional cardiologists from more than 60 countries around the world. Based upon this model, he is currently establishing collaborative pediatric cardiology research and clinical programs in China.

Currently, Dr. Hijazi is involved in evaluating percutaneous valve implantation (without surgery) for patients with defected pulmonary valves. He performed the first operation of its kind in the USA December 13th, 2005 on a 16-year old boy successfully. Further, he is currently involved with two companies to develop a percutaneous aortic valve for elderly patients with degenerative aortic valve stenosis and the his the local PI for the PARTNER5trial.

On May 11th, 2008, Dr. Hijazi became the 31st president of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI), the major organization for interventional cardiologists and has more than 4000 members worldwide.

In November, 2010, Dr. Hijazi was appointed the James A. Hunter, MD University Chair Professorship.

Dr. Ibrahim has several publications including books, contributions to book chapters, peer reviewed and non-peer reviewed publications. He is involved in education as former interventional fellowship director and was named Professor of year of the Department of Medicine in 2004 and 2005 at University of Montreal. He is also involved in research as principal investigators (PI) or co-PI of multiple studies. He made several first including Canadian, North American or world first (acute post-MI VSD closure, paravalvar leak closure, left atrial appendage closure using the Cardiac Plug I and II, PFO closure using the Flatstent or the Cardia device). He also performed many live cases for different meetings (PICS, TCT, Euro-PCR, etc). His main areas of interest are structural heart diseases (including adult congenital), pulmonary hypertension, and invasive imaging.

Saibal Kar, MD is an interventional cardiologist in the Cardiology Division of the Department of Medicine at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he is also the Director of Interventional Cardiac Research.

An astute clinician and teacher, Dr. Kar is a skilled interventional cardiologist with a special expertise in valvuloplasty and congenital heart disease. His research interests are focused on coronary restenosis, device development and the advancement of percutaneous techniques in the treatment of congenital and valvular heart diseases. Involved in both clinical and experimental research, Dr. Kar's clinical work has included publishing data on different aspects of angioplasty for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction. In the experimental lab, he has done original work on newer drug-eluting stents for the prevention of restenosis of coronary stents, and he recently developed a new drug-eluting stent, which is being used in a clinical trial in Germany.

Dr. Kar has published his clinical and experimental work in full manuscript form in peer-reviewed journals and has presented at numerous international meetings. He has written book chapters in Interventional Cardiology and General Cardiology, and he was instrumental in the startup of a special program of percutaneous closure of atrial and ventricular septal defects.
