For More Information

MESSAGE FROM THE PROGRAM DIRECTOR

The program will provide specialized training to fellows as independent operators in non-coronary cardiac interventional procedures, encompassing all aspects of structural heart disease. This will include transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR); transcatheter mitral and tricuspid valve replacement and repair; pulmonic valve replacement, ASD and PFO closures; mitral and aortic balloon valvuloplasty, paravalvular leak; and atrial appendage closure.

Teaching will be conducted at the Frankel Cardiovascular Center in both the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory and the Robert and Ann Aikens Hybrid Suite. The Frankel Cardiovascular Center was the first U.S. hospital outfitted with the Siemens ARTIS Pheno, a new robotic C-arm angiography system, located on the Michigan Medicine Campus in Ann Arbor.

Ann Arbor is consistently ranked among the top places to live in the United States. Check out the Our Community section for information on Ann Arbor, University of Michigan, housing, and much more!
