| Dr. Edward Bove is a Professor in the Department of Surgery at the Universityof Michigan School of Medicine where he holds the Helen F. and Marvin M. Kirsch Professorship in Cardiac Surgery. He is also the Head, Section of Cardiac Surgery; Division Chief, Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Division; and Co-Director, Michigan Congenital Heart Center at the University of Michigan Health System in Ann Arbor, MI. After medical school at Albany Medical College, Dr. Bove pursued surgery and thoracic surgery training at the University of Michigan. He then joined the Hospital for Sick Children in London, England, as a Senior Registrar for additional training in complex congenital heart surgery. In addition to a very busy clinical practice, Dr. Bove serves on the American Board of Thoracic Surgery and the Editorial Board of The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery. Dr. Bove is considered one of the world’s outstanding pediatric cardiac surgeons and is particularly renowned for his work with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Indeed, over 40 percent of his patients come from outside Michigan, including many countries around the world. Dr. Bove is listed in Who’s Who in Health and Medical Services and the Best Doctors in America. | Dr. Terry King is a world renowned pediatric interventional cardiologist from Monroe, LA, has had a most extraordinary career. Dr. King graduated medical school and completed his internship in Pediatrics at the University of Texas Branch in Galveston, and his residency and fellowship in Pediatric Cardiology at Duke University. After serving as a major in the US Air Force, Dr. King joined the staff at the Ochsner Clinic where he became chairman of the department in 1973. It was there he met Dr. Noel Mills, a cardiac surgeon, and together they pursued a vision for non-invasive closure of defects in the heart. Working with a machinist from Baton Rouge, Dr. King and Dr. Mills developed and patented the cardiac umbrella for non-surgical closure of ASD’s and, subsequently, a device for PDA closure. In 1975, Dr. King became the first person to implant and close an ASD in a human being. After receiving many awards and traveling the globe to give talks on this new technology, Dr. King decided to leave Ochnser and move to the rolling hills of West Monroe, LA. He established the NICU, PICU, cardiac cath lab, and congenital cardiac disease program at St. Francis Medical Center and, along the way, he also co-founded the Ronald McDonald House in Monroe. Most recently, Dr. King was honored to receive the first Pioneer Award presented by the Pediatric Interventional Cardiac Symposium in Las Vegas and the first annual Terry King Lectureship in Pediatric Cardiology established by Louisiana State University and Children’s Hospital, New Orleans. |
