development of aortocoronary bypasses (1955)
- 1st selective femoral coronography (1964)
- MHI specialists were the first to publish a description of the blockages that occur
in grafts after an aortocoronary bypass, which helped to modify heart surgery techniques
throughout the world (1972-1974)
- 1st percutaneous laser coronary dilatation (1987)
- 1st heart catheterization procedure using the new CROSSER technology on a child with
a completely blocked heart artery, in collaboration with the Sainte-Justine UHC (2006)
