Dr Amir Lerman—1956 to 2026
Abstract
Our interventional community lost a true giant in February. Amir Lerman was the consummate scholar, teacher, mentor, and friend to those who were lucky enough to work with him. Educated in Israel, he arrived at Mayo Clinic in 1988 to complete his residency. He remained there for his general and invasive cardiology fellowship and never left—ultimately becoming Associate Chair of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine and Director of the Cardiovascular Research Center. He published more than 600 manuscripts, advancing science in vascular and endothelial function, intravascular imaging, inflammation, and regenerative medicine.
