What we offer


  • At the University of Colorado, our Interventional Cardiology program is defined by a commitment to excellence in patient care, innovation, and education. We are proud to serve patients from across Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region with comprehensive, state‑of‑the‑art cardiovascular care.

  • The strength of our program lies first and foremost in our people. Our faculty comprises nationally recognized interventional cardiologists with deep expertise across the full spectrum of coronary, structural, and peripheral interventions. We work collaboratively across disciplines—including cardiac surgery, imaging, heart failure, and vascular medicine—to deliver thoughtful, individualized care for even the most complex cases.
  • Innovation is central to our mission. CU is an early adopter of advanced technologies and techniques, offering minimally invasive therapies that expand treatment options and improve outcomes for patients with challenging cardiovascular disease. Our program is also deeply engaged in clinical research, giving patients access to novel therapies and ensuring that our practice reflects the most current evidence in the field.

  • As an academic medical center, education is a core responsibility. We are dedicated to training the next generation of interventional cardiologists through rigorous fellowship programs that emphasize technical excellence, clinical judgment, and compassionate care. Our trainees benefit from high procedural volumes, broad case complexity, and close mentorship within a collegial learning environment.

  • Above all, our focus remains on the patient. Every advance we pursue—clinical, technological, or educational—is driven by our goal to provide exceptional care.
