Clinical Practice:
Dr. Corban's clinical practice focuses on the treatment of patients with coronary artery disease requiring percutaneous coronary interventions, invasive diagnosis and treatment of patients with coronary microvascular dysfunction (diseases of the smallest heart vessels) and endothelial dysfunction (diseases of the inner cell lining of the heart vessels), and performing transcatheter interventions for patients with valvular heart disease (such as severe aortic valve stenosis for which he has done more than 250 transcatheter aortic valve replacement [TAVR] procedures) and non-valvular structural heart diseases (such as device closure of patent foramen ovale and atrial septal defect, and alcohol septal ablations for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy).
