The position includes providing cardiology and interventional cardiology consultative services for cardiac catheterization and interventional procedures. Procedures and care may include pericardiocentesis, endocardial biopsies, intra-aortic balloon device placement, and percutaneous revascularization procedures such as balloon angioplasty, atherectomy, endoluminal stenting, intravascular ultrasound, intracoronary Doppler flow velocity measurements, and rheolytic thrombectomy.
