Areas of expertise:

Electrophysiological Studies (EPS) and Ablation: Expertise in diagnosing and treating arrhythmias through advanced mapping and ablation techniques.
Pacemaker Implantation: Extensive experience in implanting and managing pacemakers, including ICDs (Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators) and CRTs (Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy).
Complex Arrhythmia Management: Specializes in treating supraventricular tachycardias (SVT), atrial fibrillation, ventricular extrasystoles (VES), and ventricular tachycardia (VT) using conventional and advanced 3D mapping systems like EN-Site and CARTO.
Cryoablation: Utilizes cryoablation techniques, including focal and cryoballoon methods, for arrhythmia treatment.
Epicardial Ablation: Performs epicardial ablation via percutaneous access, offering a minimally invasive approach to arrhythmia treatment.
Non-Invasive Radiotherapy: Conducts non-invasive radiotherapy (SBRT) for patients with refractory ventricular tachycardia, providing an alternative when catheter ablation is insufficient or not feasible.
