The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai fellowship provides exceptional hands-on learning opportunities alongside distinguished operators. Fellows build confidence through active participation in numerous complex interventions while training with faculty who are leaders in the field and serve on editorial boards of major cardiovascular journals. Practical experience is enhanced through involvement in Complex Coronary Cases live webcasts and the annual New York Transcatheter Valve Symposium. They also participate in faculty-directed clinical research projects, which culminate in a presentation at a major scientific meeting and peer-reviewed publication. Throughout the program, fellows are encouraged to pursue the highest standards of technical excellence, patient safety, and clinical appropriateness.

The Mount Sinai Cath Lab performs over 800 structural interventions every year. Each fellow can expect to perform roughly 250 structural interventions with progressive responsibility as an independent operator. Graduates of our fellowship are expected to be fully proficient in performing all aspects of structural interventional procedures such as:

• Alcohol septal ablation
• Atrial septal defect/patent foramen ovale closure
• Balloon aortic and mitral valvuloplasty
• Left atrial appendage closure
• Paravalvular leak closure
• Transcatheter aortic valve replacement
• Transcatheter mitral valve repair and replacement
• Transcatheter tricuspid valve repair and replacement
