Overview
I am striving to become a clinical and research leader in structural heart disease and complex coronary disease, specifically in the use of antithrombotic agents after structural heart interventions. I will also explore the significance of bleeding/vascular complications and stroke in these patients as well as potential therapies such as transfusion, and embolic protection devices.
