The concomitant experience typically uses alternate energy sources and accompanies mitral valve repair. As the program performs more than 100 mitral valve repairs annually, this experience also provides the fellow with proficiency in repairing all forms of complex mitral pathology. In addition, we offer experience in percutaneous and trans-apical aortic valve replacement.
Six months will be focused on surgery for congestive heart failure. This includes ventricular assist devices and heart transplantation and also complex surgery for congestive heart failure. The institution has a vast experience with ventricular reconstruction (modified DOR procedure), low-EF mitral valve repair and electrical reconstruction. In addition, the program is participating in several trials with innovative therapies and devices for patients with end-stage heart disease.
Clinical research opportunities are also available. Salary and rank will commensurate with experience. Northwestern University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Educator and Employer. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply.
