Announcing the 2024-2025 Frank J. and Eleanor Maslowski Charitable Trust CHIP-CTO Fellow at the MHIF Center for Coronary Artery Disease

The Center for Coronary Artery Disease at the Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation® (MHIF) is dedicated to improving clinical practice and ultimately discovering lifesaving treatments through innovative cardiovascular research. As part of the educational aim for the center, a one-year fellowship was created to provide a robust experience to an individual interested in training in complex percutaneous coronary interventions and interventional cardiology research.

MHIF is delighted to welcome Sandeep Jalli, DO as the Frank J. and Eleanor Maslowski Charitable Trust CHIP-CTO Fellow as of July 1, 2024.

Dr. Jalli joins us from Largo Medical Center in Largo, FL, where he completed his training in interventional cardiology. Sandeep obtained his medical degree from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed his Internal Medicine Residency at the Augusta University/University of Georgia Medical Partnership and his Cardiology Fellowship at Samaritan Health Services in Corvallis, OR. During his training he was Chief Resident and Chief Interventional Cardiology Fellow, and was actively involved in research with peer reviewed publications and presentations at conferences. Dr. Jalli is also board certified in Internal Medicine, Echocardiography, Cardiac CT, and Cardiovascular Disease.

The Center for Coronary Artery Disease at the Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation is dedicated to improving clinical practice and ultimately discovering life-saving treatments through innovative cardiovascular research. The Frank J. and Eleanor Maslowski Charitable Trust CHIP-CTO Fellowship Program is a 1-year hybrid clinical and research training program for Interventional Cardiologists focused on specialized 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. The program also includes a clinical research focus on complex percutaneous coronary interventions and coronary artery disease.

The curriculum for the program consists of:

Chronic total occlusion (CTO) interventions
Advanced intravascular imaging and physiology
Bifurcations, thrombus management, treatment of acute coronary syndromes
Calcification and tortuosity
Hemodynamic support and treatment of cardiogenic shock
Complication prevention and management, radiation safety
Research in complex percutaneous coronary interventions and coronary artery disease

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.
