Dr Lederman is the chief of the Laboratory of Cardiovascular Intervention at the NHLBI Division of Intramural Research in Bethesda Maryland USA. His program creates new catheter based treatments and devices for structural heart disease and introduces them into medical practice. His multidisciplinary team includes adult and pediatric interventional cardiologists, imaging physicists, and biomedical engineers. The NHLBI Lederman lab has invented and translated into clinical practice numerous structural heart procedures including transcaval access to the aorta; mitral cerclage annuloplasty; LAMPOON, ELASTIC, and BASILICA leaflet modification to allow TMVR and TAVR, transcatheter cavopulmonary shunt creation, and MRI heart catheterization. These procedures and protocols are possible though a network of luminary collaborating structural heart interventional cardiologists.
