His expertise also extends to MitraClip procedures for mitral valve regurgitation and a wide range of interventions including angiography, angioplasty with stenting, pacemakers, ICDs, and CRT devices. This breadth of knowledge means patients receive comprehensive, individualized care under one roof.
