Structural Heart Cases

Dr. Sorajja joined Allina Health Minneapolis Heart Institute - Minneapolis in 2013. He was previously a professor of medicine at Mayo Clinic before he left to join Minneapolis Heart Institute®. Dr. Sorajja is the author of over 100 published manuscripts and book chapters, and is a national speaker in the areas of valvular heart disease, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and complex hemodynamics. Dr. Sorajja's special interest is structural heart interventions, such as transcatheter aortic replacement (TAVR), balloon valvuloplasty, paravalvular leak repair, percutaneous valve implantation, and other similar therapies. Emmanouil S. Brilakis, MD, PhD, FACC, FAHA, FESC, FSCAI Dr. Brilakis is Director of the Center for Complex Coronary Interventions at the Minneapolis Heart Institute and the Center for. After graduating from Lycee Leonin de Patissia, Dr. Brilakis received his medical degree from the National Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece. He trained in Internal Medicine, Cardiovascular Diseases and Interventional Cardiology at the Mayo Clinic. He also completed a Masters in Clinical Research at the Mayo Clinic and a PhD in Clinical Research at the National Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece. He served as Director of the VA North Texas Healthcare System Cardiac Catheterization Laboratories from 2004 to 2016. Dr. Brilakis leads a large clinical trial group investigating treatment of chronic total occlusions, prevention and treatment of saphenous vein graft disease, prevention and management of complications, intracoronary imaging, antiplatelet treatment optimization post coronary stenting, radiation safety in the catheterization laboratory, and implementation of novel technologies in healthcare. He is Associate Editor for Circulation and on the editorial board of several other journals and on the Board of Directors of the Cardiovascular Innovations Foundation. He has authored or co-authored over 600 manuscripts and the Manual of CTO Interventions, now in its 2nd edition. He and is lecturing and proctoring at several institutions in the United States and abroad.
