- Title
An epitaph for Professor Otmar Pachinger, MD.
- Authors
Probst, Peter
- Abstract
Otmar Pachinger, however, never lost sight of his original calling, which was to take care of patients, and so he transferred to Professor Melvin, Judkins, one of the co-innovators of the cardiac catheters still in use today, at Loma Linda University in California. Professor Pachinger returned to Vienna in 1974, where the two of us became the heads of the Cath Lab at the Department of Cardiology, Chief Prof. Fritz Kaindl. Due to his interventional work, Professor Pachinger was exposed to X-ray irradiation for over forty years and thus possibly fell victim to his work for the sake of his patients.
