Research

edit

He is the founder of the academic research organization PERFUSE (Percutaneous/Pharmacologic Endoluminal Revascularization For Unstable Syndromes Evaluation). There he has lead the angiographic analysis for more than 50 international medical and device trials. According to the American College of Cardiology Foundation and Society of Thoracic Surgeons, "Gibson’s work has largely focused on the development of statistical and angiographic methodologies to investigate the pathophysiology of coronary artery disease and the efficacy of therapeutic modalities. He has developed many of the analysis measures used as endpoints in numerous cardiovascular clinical trials, including the TIMI frame count (an index of coronary blood flow) and TIMI myocardial perfusion grade (an index of myocardial perfusion)."[3]

For example, in 2011 Gibson was a co-author on a study involving 15,500 patients that showed that Xarelto lowered the risk of heart attacks and strokes.[4][5][6] That year he was also the principal investigator of the ATLAS-ACS antithrombins trial, which was presented at the American Heart Association scientific sessions.[7] Among others, he has also led studies for implantable warning systems used to detect coronary occlusions from thrombotic events.[8] He has led or contributed to trials in the fields of acute coronary syndrome research, antiplatelet research, antithrombin research, reperfusion injury research, lipid lowering and atherosclerosis regression, new device research, CMR core laboratory research, CT angiographic core laboratory research, coronary artery bypass graft research, new electrocardiography technology, angiogenesis, stem cell therapy, National Institute of Health research, and diabetes.[1]
