Interventional Cardiology Fellowship Program

The interventional cardiologist is a key member of our heart team specializing in minimally invasive transcatheter therapies to promote prompt diagnosis and therapeutics for patients with coronary, valvular, structural heart and peripheral arterial diseases. The skills of diagnostic cardiac catheterization, PCI (with mechanical support when indicated) and structural intervention complement those of our heart team members including our colleagues in cardiac surgery, clinical and noninvasive cardiology, heart failure, electrophysiology and other health care professionals.

We are guideline- and data-driven, integrating clinical, laboratory, imaging and cardiac physiology information in our interventions. We employ a combination of this approach, the most advanced device technologies, the latest in pharmacotherapies and lifestyle modifications in order to repair coronary obstructions or structural defects. This is all with the aim of improving patients’ chances of survival and enhancing their qualities of life.

Our active participation in numerous state-of-the-art research trials gives our patients access to technologies before they become commercially available for clinical use.

At the completion of this one-year program, graduating fellows will be expert in all coronary diagnostic and interventional procedures as well as catheter based mechanical circulatory support.
