The main objective of the Structural Heart Disease Fellowship is to provide an academically and clinically rigorous training program for the cardiology trainee to obtain the basic and clinical knowledge, procedural skills, clinical judgment, professionalism, and interpersonal skills required as a subspecialist in structural heart disease within interventional cardiology. This fellowship will allow the trainee to function as a highly competent subspecialist in the field of structural heart disease, including the development of skills in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), percutaneous aortic balloon valvuloplasty, atrial septal defect and patent foramen ovale closure, trans-septal puncture, transcatheter closure of paravalvular leaks, alcohol septal ablation therapy, ventricular septal defect repair, and transcatheter mitral valve repair.

During training in the Structural Heart Disease Fellowship, the clinical experience will provide opportunities to diagnose, select therapies, perform structural interventional procedures, and manage and judge the effectiveness of treatments for both inpatients and outpatients with valvular heart disease, congenital heart disease, and acquired structural heart disease.
