Furthermore, he subspecialised in Interventional Cardiology (1998) and was accredited by the Haemodynamic Section of the Spanish Society of Cardiology in the same year.

RESEARCH AREAS

His Research Area is focussed on the study and detection of coronary vulnerable plaque markers using imaging techniques.

His research also includes the evaluation of regression of the hypertrophy and fibrosis in the Left Ventricle using markers, renal denervation and the treatment of refractory arterial hypertension.

AREAS OF INTEREST

His areas of interest have focused on the treatment of coronary lesions, their evaluation using functional assessment techniques, such as FFR using pressure guidewire, and imaging techniques such as OCT (optical coherence tomography) and Intracoronary Ultrasound (HV or virtual histology and IVUS). His treatment with 2nd and 3rd generation stents, as well as with resorbable stents, and by means of rotational atherectomy techniques (rotablator).

He was one of the first cardiologists to start using coronary stents in Spain and the first to use optical coherence tomography (OCT) for the study of vulnerable coronary plaque. He currently performs all treatments for ischaemic heart disease.

For years he has been performing all the treatments of Structural Cardiology such as closure of Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) with scopy and without the need for ultrasound, closure of Atrial Septal Defects (ASD), closure of left atrial appendage, closure of patent ductus arteriosus, pulmonary valvuloplasty and implantation of percutaneous aortic prosthesis.
