Frank J. and Eleanor Maslowski Charitable Trust Complex High Risk Indicated Percutaneous Coronary Interventions (CHIP) and Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) Fellowship

The Center for Coronary Artery Disease at the Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation® (MHIF) is dedicated to improving clinical practice and ultimately discovering life-saving treatments through innovative cardiovascular research. As part of the educational aim for the center, a one-year fellowship in has been created to provide a robust experience to an individual interested in training in complex percutaneous coronary interventions and interventional cardiology research.
MHIF is strongly positioned for success with the Center for Coronary Artery Disease through its partnership with 70+ Minneapolis Heart Institute® cardiologists, who see more than 50,000 individual patients at more than 60,000 clinic visits each year at Abbott Northwestern and United Hospitals.
Key Objectives
- To provide advanced training in complex and high-risk percutaneous coronary interventions, including patient selection, procedural planning, use of advanced interventional techniques, and prevention and management of complications.
- To perform research on complex coronary interventions and coronary artery disease.
