Interventional Cardiology Fellowship

Program Director: Kevin Rogers, MD

Interventional Cardiology AIMS

The Program’s AIMS are as follows:

1. Recruit the highest quality trainees with interests in coronary, peripheral and structural heart disease

2. Train the next generation of academic interventional cardiologists with a focus on clinical research

3. Train clinically competent interventional cardiologists to serve in the community. 

Activities in the cardiac catheterization laboratory at UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital (UCH), headed by Dr. John Messenger, include a full range of diagnostic and therapeutic coronary, peripheral, and structural heart disease procedures performed in state-of-the-art laboratories with extensive computer-assisted cardiac analysis systems. In addition, there is an active program in the pharmacologic therapy of patients with significant pulmonary hypertension, transplant cardiology, and adult congenital heart disease. Dr. John Messenger heads the clinical programs in diagnostic and interventional cardiology, while Dr. Kevin Rogers serves as director of peripheral interventional procedures. The general day-to-day activities include preoperative evaluation and preparation of patients, screening, and enrollment in research protocols. Fellows are involved in all aspects of patient management in the cath lab including evaluation of patient data, performance of catheterization procedures, and post-procedure care and documentation. Our fellowship is a joint program at UCH, Denver Health, and the Rocky Mountain Regional VA Medical Center.
