Summary

My current focus is to continue resident, fellow and peer training and education, extend the heart transplant donor pool with deceased donors with extra-corporeal support in addition to brain dead donors, develop temporary circulatory support devices to treat heart failure, continue in clinical trials to demonstrate efficacy of percutaneous mitral valve technology in the aging population, and administratively join the MGB mission to better serve all people, everywhere.
