Adreas Reward

Andreas Reward

The ANDREAS Reward is the first Polish award for outstanding achievements in the field of interventional cardiology - for overall activity or significant achievements in the year preceding its granting.

Its name was derived from the name of Andreas Gruntzig, who in 1977 was the first to perform percutaneous coronary angioplasty. Since 2006, the ANDREAS prize has been awarded during the Intervention Cardiology Workshops in Warsaw (WCCI). 

We then entered a new era of revascularization. It was a breakthrough, because from that moment we stopped doing coronary angiography for cardiac surgeons and we started qualifying patients for percutaneous treatment.
