In this episode of DeviceTalks Weekly, Host Tom Salemi welcomes Kendra Grubb, MD, vice president and chief medical officer of Medtronic’s Structural Heart business. Dr. Grubb fulfilled her childhood ambition of becoming a cardiac surgeon and an interventionalist.
In this episode, Dr. Grubb discusses how structural heart has transformed over the past two decades and why she believes the field is approaching another major disruption.
