Gregg W. Stone, MD: Thanks, Magnus.
Dr Ohman: You've been leading the area of interventional cardiology for many years now. To what do you attribute your success? What has made you be the man that people go to if they have a new device that they want to test?
Dr Stone: You're very kind, Magnus. I think I've been very fortunate to be surrounded by a lot of people who have helped me in my career, who have stimulated me and motivated me to work harder.
