Interventional Cardiology Fellowship

BIDMC offers state-of-the-art catheter-based treatment for patients with coronary artery, peripheral vascular, and structural heart diseases. Full-time and affiliated faculty perform more than 4,300 procedures annually in cardiac procedural suites that include five catheterization laboratories and three hybrid operating rooms. In addition, BIDMC staff members play a major role in the pre-clinical and clinical development and evaluation of leading-edge technologies for the treatment of complex cardiovascular disorders, including clinical trials that provide access to investigational treatments. Interventional Cardiology faculty authored more than 100 original manuscripts over the past two years.

The BIDMC Interventional Cardiology Fellowship is an ACGME-certified program for comprehensive training in Interventional Cardiology techniques and patient care. The fellowship is an intensive combined clinical and research program focused on all aspects related to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures. In addition, fellows will obtain experience in high-risk and chronic total occlusion (CTO) PCI and peripheral angiography and interventions. Fellows will also become proficient at large bore access and learn how to insert, manage and percutaneously decannulate different mechanical circulatory support devices. Fellows will also obtain experience in structural heart disease interventions including transcatheter aortic and mitral valve replacement, percutaneous mitral valve repair, PFO and ASD closure, LAA occlusion and PVL closure.

The program also provides fellows with opportunities to participate in clinical trials of new interventional devices and treatment strategies. At completion, each fellow will have performed approximately 300 interventional procedures and will be eligible to take the certification examination in Interventional Cardiology given by the American Board of Internal Medicine.
