Complications of PCI - Part 2

Chris Brown is a Interventional Cardiologist and Vascular Medicine Specialist at Swedish Heart and Vascular Institute. He graduated from medical school at Oregon Health and Sciences university. He went on to complete his residency at Vanderbilt University medical center, cardiology fellowship at Cedars Sinai and Interventional cardiology fellowship at Scripps Clinic La Jolla. His areas of interest are complex PCI, TAVR, endovascular interventions and outcomes research.

Pratik Sandesara is a Complex and High-Risk Interventional Procedures (CHIP) fellow and a Senior Associate at Emory University School of Medicine. He graduated from the combined 6-year BA/MD program at University of Missouri-Kansas City. He went on to complete internal medicine residency and general and interventional cardiology fellowships at Emory University. His areas of clinical interest are complex coronary intervention including chronic total occlusion PCI, structural heart intervention (TAVR, ASD and PFO closure) and coronary intravascular imaging.

After completing his M.D. at Tulane Medical School, Bill Lombardi went on to the University of Utah, Salt Lake City for his internal medicine residency and fellowships in cardiology, heart failure/cardiac transplant, and interventional cardiology. Dr. Lombardi then returned home to Washington State and joined St. Joseph’s Hospital in Bellingham. During the 13 years that he was at St. Joseph’s, Dr. Lombardi helped to develop novel CTO techniques and technologies and was fundamental to the inception of the “hybrid algorithm” to facilitate reproducibly successful outcomes in chronic total occlusion and complex lesion PCI. During this time he was also active in physician training, CME courses and proctoring. Dr. Lombardi joined the University of Washington Medical Center in 2014 as associate clinical professor and director of the Complex Coronary Disease Therapies Program. He is certified in interventional cardiology and cardiovascular disease by the American Board of Internal Medicine. Dr. Lombardi's interests include sailing, fishing, and spending time with family.
