About
I have performed over 5000 diagnostic coronary angiograms and graft studies including arterial conduits. I have performed over 2000 PCI procedures (angioplasty) including pressure wire studies, rotablation, shockwave, intravascular ultrasound and OCT, all with good outcomes. I insert permanent pacemakers and have experience of congenital heart disease as well as managing a wide range of general cardiology conditions.
