Research
Focus
- My research has advanced the field of interventional cardiology and peripheral vascular disease. Prior to my affiliation with Emory, I actively researched rotational atherectomy in CAD, coronary stenting and coronary intervention in acute MI. This research led to my designs and executions of two trials for which I was the PI. I presented the data at national meetings. At Emory, I initiated the peripheral research program that continues to perform multiple studies, some initiated by myself and others as PI at Emory.
