Through popular vote on www.pioneersinperformance.com, the broader medical community chose to award the following honorees at a special celebration during the 36th Charing Cross International Symposium held in London, April 5-8, 2014.

    Professor Roger Greenhalgh, a past recipient of the award, commented, “Pioneers in Performance celebrates the incredible achievements made by proven leaders in our field by honoring their dedication to excellence through innovation, critical thinking, education, research, and collaboration. This year’s honorees exemplify what it means to be a true pioneer in the pursuit to advance open and endovascular surgery and improve patient outcomes.” Professor Greenhalgh is Emeritus Professor of Surgery and Head of Imperial College London Vascular Research Group and Chairman of the Charing Cross Symposium.

    “Since the Pioneers in Performance program began, physicians from all over the world have been given the opportunity to honor the extraordinary achievements of their peers and this year is no different,” said David Abeyta, Leader of the Gore Medical Products Division. “We congratulate this latest group of European-based honorees and thank them, and their fellow nominees, for their unrelenting dedication to advancing vascular and endovascular therapy for their patients and their peers.”
