Interventional Cardiology Fellowship
Dr. Kevin Marzo, Program Director
|
Program Director's Message
Winthrop University Hospital's Division of Cardiology has been ranked one of the nations best for the past three years by Health Grades, while recent NYS Department of Health statistics on percutaneous coronary interventions has ranked Winthrop number one in the state. In 2004-05, the cardiac catheterization laboratory participated in excess of 12 multi-center clinical trails with other leading academic health centers. These investigations included studies on the evaluation of new devices and novel approaches into the management of patients with acute coronary syndromes.
The Interventional Cardiology Program emphasizes a variety of clinical and research areas relevant to interventional cardiology, provides trainees with experience in all aspects of coronary and vascular interventions while using state of the art technology. It is expected that the fellow will participate in and/or have primary operator experience in a minimum of 400-600 coronary interventions and a minimum of 100 peripheral interventions during the course of the fellowship.

Program Overview
The Interventional Cardiology Fellowship is an ACGME accredited one year program intent on training the next generation of Interventional Cardiologists in all aspects of the discipline. The objective is to produce competent, compassionate Interventionalists who will be leaders in the field of Cardiology. The innovative and rapidly growing academic and technical aspects of this branch of Cardiology demand that Interventionalists constantly expand their didactic foundation and clinical skills and that the clinician have an undying desire to add these skills to their armamentarium on an ongoing basis. WUH is prepared to meet the needs of the Interventional Cardiology Fellow in providing curriculum to expand ones didactic knowledge, exposure to technology and innovative research, enriched and enhanced by a large Cardiology Fellowship Program. This program will produce dynamic clinicians........ Interventionalists who will bring forth the changes and improvements in the field for years to come and who will provide their patients with a level of skill and compassion that has become the signature of Winthrop Cardiology.

Outstanding Program Features
The interventional fellow will have the opportunity be involved in all areas of the educational and clinical spectrum from heading up new research programs within the department to being on-call for acute cases. Advanced training will be provided in peripheral vascular interventions, carotid artery stenting and angiography, rotablator atherectomy, angiojet thrombectomy, intravascular ultrasound, physiologic assessment of lesions using doppler and pressure measurement techniques, acute MI management and interventions, training on distal protection techniques, and a variety of other newer technical modalities.

Academic Leadership
Excellent academic leadership is under the guidance of Kevin P. Marzo, M.D., a world recognized expert in Gp IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists, myocardial ischemia and Vascular Biology. Dr. Marzo is an accomplished interventional cardiologist skilled in all aspects of vascular interventions, including coronary stenting, vascular brachytherapy, intravascular ultrasound, rotational atherectomy, peripheral vascular and renal artery stenting and percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty. He is joined by both faculty and voluntary attending staff of Interventional Cardiologists at Winthrop, professionals committed to research, patient care and medical education, who bring a level of clinical expertise and academic acumen which is second to none.
As Interventional Cardiology is one of the few disciplines of medicine that has a profound functional reliance on technology, the faculty has at their disposal state of the art technology from the clinical use of drug eluting stents to the use of flat panel x-ray. The Department of Cardiology boasts two new interventional labs, an Innova 2000 and an Innova 3100. In addition, a newly installed digital imaging and archival system allow physicians to review cases and produce computer generated reports both on site and remotely. The institutions ongoing commitment to education and patient care has facilitated resources to upgrade the cath labs in an effort to provide the pinnacle in instruction and healthcare.
