معرفی
Stijn Lochy serves as an unpaid employee and physician within the Department of Cardiology at the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), with clinical practice at University Hospital Brussels (UZB). His dual affiliation integrates academic research with frontline cardiac care in Belgium's capital region.
Dr. Lochy holds an MD and PhD in Clinical Sciences, with specialized training in cardiovascular medicine. His educational foundation supports his dual expertise in interventional procedures and acute cardiac management.
His research concentrates on structural heart interventions and acute cardiac syndromes, particularly percutaneous mitral valve therapies, left atrial appendage closure, and ECMO-supported care. He pioneers imaging-guided techniques for coronary and structural interventions, with notable work on CT-based computational modeling and arrhythmia diagnostics. His fingerprint reveals deep engagement with coronary artery disease (100%), Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (61%), and atrial appendage pathologies (57%).
Recent publication trends demonstrate increasing focus on computational modeling for structural interventions and device-based arrhythmia management. His 2025 output shows dominance in left atrial appendage occlusion studies and CT-guided PCI optimization, reflecting European collaborative efforts to standardize imaging protocols for complex cardiac procedures.
Dr. Lochy maintains active participation in 114 recorded professional activities, including keynote addresses at Endovascular Complications (2024) and presentations at CSIFRANKFURT. His collaborative network spans 12 similar profiles across coronary disease, structural interventions, and acute care domains, with significant contributions to multicenter European trials like PRECISE LAAO and OCCL-ILR.
