I perform the full spectrum of adult structural heart intervention; valvuloplasty, percutaneous transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI, ViV TAVI), transcatheter mitral valve edge to edge repair (TEER), transcatheter mitral and tricuspid valve procedures (ViV TMVR, ViV TTVR, TMVR), patent foramen ovale (PFO), atrial septal defect (ASD) and left atrial appendage (LAA) closure.

I also specialise in management of coronary artery disease including coronary angiography, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI, FFR, calcium modification techniques) and invasive coronary imaging (OCT, IVUS).
