Crynodeb

This is a full-time post in interventional cardiology for 2 years subject to satisfactory performance assessed at 6 monthly intervals. There is no on-call commitment for the general cardiology rota. This post is ideally suited to a senior trainee in interventional cardiology (as part of an out of programme experience) or a candidate with post CCT/CESR in cardiology who wishes to consolidate their knowledge and increase their experience in PCI before taking up a consultant post. Overseas candidates are also welcomed to apply for this post provided they have the required qualifications. The appointee will be expected to have good experience in the performance of modern cardiac interventional procedures, as well as extensive experience of basic cardiac catheterisation. The successful candidate will be expected to perform 350-450 PCI cases as first operator per year and will receive intensive training in all aspects of interventional cardiac intervention including complex PCI (unprotected LM, bifurcation techniques), rotational-atherectomy, intravascular lithotripsy, intracoronary imaging, zero contrast/ ultra-low contrast PCI, intra-coronary physiology and microvascular assessment, and CTO.



The interventional fellow will perform the following activities:

(a) Attendance at interventional catheter lab 6 sessions per week. Further additional sessions may be allocated depending on the timetable.

(b) Provision of ward round for PCI patients (interventional ward round).

(c) Attendance at regular MDT and educational weekly meeting.

(d) Dictation of discharge and procedural letters as required.

(e) Participate in departmental interventional research, audits, and educational programmes, present at national and international conferences, and publish in peer-reviewed journals.

(f) Providing 1-2 TAVI clinics per month.



There will be opportunity to join ACS PCI weekend lists alongside the interventional consultant. This is an optional commitment and will provide a valuable training opportunity.

There are currently 8 substantive and 1 locum interventional cardiologists employed at the LCC. In addition, there are 4 visiting interventional cardiologists from surrounding trusts. LCC perform more than 1650 PCI procedure per year, including 24/7 primary PCI, and cover a full spectrum of coronary intervention. The department has OCT with Co registration, IVUS with Sync-vision co-registration, full range of intra-coronary physiology and microvascular assessment capability (we are the first centre in England to recruit for iCORMICA study), rotational atherectomy, Orbital atherectomy, intracoronary lithotripsy and Impella programme. We are well renowned for performing Zero contrast/ ultralow contrast complex PCI procedure across UK with multiple national and international presentations on our technique for this procedure. We have a dedicated CTO (AWE, ADR, retrograde) and complex PCI programme. We have three consultants with an interest in CTO and have collaboration in the Northwest for CTOs. There is a full TAVI programme as well as closure devices for structural heart disease. The Lancashire Cardiac Centre also provides tertiary level EP service, simple and complex devices, and heart failure services.
