Biography

Christoph Huber completed his Dr. med. at the University Medical School in Basel, Switzerland, General Surgery Residency at the District Hospital Biel and Cardiovascular Residency at the University Hospital Bern, Inselspital, Switzerland. Between 2002-07/08, Huber attended at the University Hospital Lausanne (including a senior cardiac surgical clinical fellowship 2004-05 at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA) and Great Ormond Street Hospital, London, UK (Senior Fellow Congential Cardiac Surgery); returning to University Hospital Bern in 2009 as a Senior Consultant Cardiovascular Surgeon (MD, FMH), Director of the Surgical Transcatheter Valve Implantation (TAVI) Program, lecturer, and Medical Superintendent of adult cardiac surgery. In 2016, Huber became the Head of Division Cardiac and Vascular Surgery (Médecin-chef de service) at the University Hospital Geneva (HUG). Huber also published a textbook on transcatheter valve therapies (TCVT) in 2009.

Inventor

Huber developed the transapical (TA) TAVI in 2004 which introduced a less invasive antegrade, versus transfemoral/TF retrograde, approach to the heart, and his later research, into a percutaneious transapical TAVI platform, led to his invention of the first successful experimental closure device (TA Plug). Huber also opened a startup company and assisted in the development of the Acurate TA (Symetis) device which received CE approval in 2011.
