Peter de Jaegere, MD, PhD

Professor Interventional Cardiology
Erasmus MC
Erasmus MC
Rotterdam, Netherlands

Dr PPT de Jaegere received his MD degree from the University Ghent, Belgium in 1983 followed by training in cardiology from 1983-1986 Bruges, Belgium, 1986-87 Free University Brussels, Belgium and 1987-1990 at the Thoraxcenter, University Hospital Rotterdam, The Netherlands (1986-1990).
From 1990-1996, he was staff member of the Thoraxcenter and clinical head of the Department of Interventional Cardiology in Rotterdam during which he defended his PhD thesis on intracoronary stenting (1993) that was followed by the publication of the Benestent Study (RCT stent implantation vs balloon angioplasty) in the NEJM 1994.
From 1996-2004 he was staff member of the Department Interventional Cardiology of the University Hospital Utrecht, The Netherlands during which he directed the Octopus Study (RCT off-pump bypass surgery vs. coronary stenting), published in the NEJM 2003.
In 2004 he returned to the Thoraxcenter where he set up the Catheter Based Valve program. Based upon the pioneering nature (e.g., first true and full TAVR in the world (October 2006) preceded by the first subclavian TAVR (June 2006) combined with a clinical scientific plus his role in postgraduate training & education, he was appointed Professor in Interventional Cardiology at the Erasmus University Rotterdam in 2012.
With respect to TAVR, he organized together a number of international courses on TAVR of which the first took place in March l 2008 at the Erasmus University. Following that course, he proposed a design of a RCT comparing TAVR with aortic valve surgery, which later became the SURTAVI trial that was published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2017
Since 2011, the focus of his research shifted from patient-oriented clinical research to patient-specific computer simulation of catheter-based interventions in close collaboration with biomedical engineers in Belgium.
In 2020, the Erasmus University appointed dr PPT de Jaegere as full professor of Cardiology.
