Meet Dr. Loughridge
| Dr. B.P. Loughridge has
served a distinguished career in cardiovascular surgery, and is widely
recognized for his accomplishments in Oklahoma and the region.
Through the years, Dr. Loughridge
has helped to develop new treatment techniques, including a technique to
deliver chemotherapeutic agents to patients with metastatic cancer to the
liver without making them toxic, for which he received a Fullbright Scholarship.
He has also worked at the forefront of technology, being the first surgeon
in Oklahoma to do cardiac remodeling and he was an early user of the laser
utilized to smooth the lining of arteries and remove arteriosclerotic plaque.
Dr. Loughridge also helped
in determining the indications and use of the pig heart valve in heart
valve surgery procedures and was involved in the research that showed non-viable
tissue has a limited term when used in areas of motion in the bodies of
animals.
Dr. Loughridge is currently
a clinical associate professor of surgery at the University of Oklahoma
School of Medicine. |
