Patients receive catheter-based diagnostic and therapeutic treatments for coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, heart valve disease, and many other cardiovascular conditions.

“Dimitrios Bliagos is one of the most outstanding clinicians and researchers in cardiology today. I’m thrilled to welcome him to the team to broaden how we can treat patients with heart disease using minimally invasive techniques,” said Sunil Rao, MD, director of interventional cardiology, director of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory in Manhattan, and professor of medicine and member of the Leon H.
