Dr. Glineur has been an active, productive and valued member of the Department of Surgery since being recruited to the UOHI from Belgium in early 2015, at the rank of Associate Professor. David published the first prospective randomized trials evaluating arterial graft choice and configuration in coronary surgery, and his clinical expertise and academic contributions have established him as an international expert in the field.
Dr. Glineur has demonstrated consistent excellence in clinical research in the area of coronary surgery. In addition to his important early work already mentioned, he led the IMPAG Trial and published results of the first blinded international trial evaluating the utility of FFR (“fractional flow reserve”) for planning coronary revascularization procedures. This significant study provided important hemodynamic data to guide coronary revascularization, as opposed to the traditional simple visual assessment of the coronary angiogram. He has published over 120 peer-reviewed articles on coronary surgery, has an H-index of 37, i10-index of 77, with a total of 4,112 citations of his work. He is the Co-Editor, Technical Aspects of Modern Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery.
Dr. Glineur international recognition among his peers resulted in his serving as coordinator for the 2019 European Society for Cardiology’s Guidelines for Myocardial Revascularization. He was elected as surgical editor for the international journal EuroPCR. He has delivered multiple competitive and invited presentations at major international cardiac surgery conferences each year. He also led efforts at the prestigious Society of Thoracic Surgeons to secure and plan an Advanced Coronary Surgery Congress in Ottawa in June 2020. He has participated in advanced CME activities at the international level, including leading Masterclasses in coronary and robotic surgery, and proctoring wet labs at major international conferences
