Pierre Squara, M.D. Father, Entrepreneur, Pianist Dr. Pierre Squara, director of the Intensive Care Unit at Clinique Ambroise Paré in Paris, has been a practicing cardiologist and intensivist for  20 years. In his “spare time,” he is developing a heart- assist device. The father of four has a passion for playing the piano – and caring for his patients. A longtime user of Edwards’ Swan-Ganz hemodynamic monitoring catheters, Dr. Squara believes the latest Swan-Ganz advancement, the CCOmbo V Catheter, is a significant development in caring for the critically ill. “It gives me the data I need to make good decisions in life-threatening situations,” he says, adding, “It’s especially useful in monitoring patients after cardiac surgery.” Beyond providing  therapies directly for the heart and its surrounding vasculature, Edwards offers sophisticated diagnostic and monitoring technologies  to assess the critical heart function of patients in  high-risk surgical and  intensive care settings.
