TCT^® Geoffrey O. Hartzler Master Operator Award

Congratulations to Dr. Jeffrey W. Moses!

An internationally recognized interventional cardiologist, Jeffrey W. Moses, MD, is the John and Myrna Daniels Professor of Cardiology at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. He has performed more than 20,000 interventional procedures, authored upwards of 600 publications, and served as lead investigator for numerous national and international clinical studies that have demonstrated the effectiveness and safety of interventional therapeutics.

In 2002, Dr. Moses was the lead investigator on a large, landmark first-in-U.S. clinical trial that definitively demonstrated the benefit of drug-coated stents, leading to the device’s approval by the U.S. FDA. Drug-eluting stents are now the standard of care for coronary angioplasty and stenting procedures. More recently, Dr. Moses served on the Executive Committee of the PARTNER trial, which brought the first transcatheter aortic valve to clinical use in the U.S.

Dr. Moses currently serves as Director of Interventional Cardiovascular Therapeutics at NewYork-Presbyterian / Columbia University Irving Medical Center and as Director of Advanced Cardiac Interventions at St. Francis Hospital and Heart Center in Roslyn, New York.

Dr. Moses is an Associate Director of the world’s largest interventional cardiology conference, Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT^®). He serves on the Board of the Cardiovascular Research Foundation in New York and has made important contributions in the areas of clinical research and educational activities in interventional vascular therapy. He is also a pioneer in developing approaches involving minimally invasive surgery, angioplasty, gene therapy, novel imaging technologies and various support devices that allow for wider application of interventional cardiovascular procedures.

Dr. Moses, who previously held a professorship in clinical medicine at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, also served in various positions at The New York Hospital (now NewYork-Presbyterian / Weill Cornell Medical Center), where he became Associate Director of the Adult Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory and Director of Clinical Electrophysiology. He is a fellow in multiple professional societies and serves as a reviewer on editorial boards for numerous peer-reviewed journals. Dr. Moses completed medical school at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and his internship, residency, and fellowship in cardiology at the Presbyterian University of Pennsylvania Medical Center.
