Vascular Medicine and Intervention Program

The Vascular Medicine and Intervention Program within the Division of Cardiology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine is highly involved in the care of patients with a wide spectrum of non-coronary vascular diseases.

Clinical Focus

The clinical focus of the Vascular Medicine and Intervention section at the University of Colorado Hospital includes:

• Outpatient care of all types of vascular disease
• Inpatient consultation at the University of Colorado Hospital and affiliated hospitals
• Catheter-based revascularization for various acute and chronic vascular disorders
• Emerging therapies such as balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) for chronic thrombo-embolic disease (CTEPH) and renal denervation (RDN)

Research and Academics

The program is engaged in various academic pursuits, including:

• Collaboration with CPC Clinical Research
• Training upcoming vascular medicine specialists and interventional cardiologists
• Participation in clinical vascular research, including the International Spontaneous Coronary Artery Disease registry and the United States Fibromuscular Dysplasia Registry

Faculty and Staff

The faculty in the Vascular Medicine and Interventional program at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and affiliated hospitals contribute to excellent evidence-based care of patients with vascular disease and advancing the field academically.
