Research

Focus

I focus on: Complex coronary revascularization utilizing Off-Pump vs. On-Pump techniques; Trans Myocardial Laser Revascularization to improve myocardial perfusion and reduction of angina; and role of stem cell for treatment of end-stage ischemic or idiopathic cardiomyopathy. Additional focus is on diagnosis and treatment of Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia.
