Michela Faggioni, MD

Assistant Professor

Clinical Interests

Dr. Michela Faggioni is an interventional cardiologist, a specialist in minimally invasive procedures to address heart conditions. She treats acute and chronic coronary syndromes (conditions in which blood flow to the heart is suddenly reduced) and heart valve diseases. In addition, she performs left atrial appendage occlusions (closing a small pouch in the heart’s upper left chamber to prevent clots), patent foramen ovale occlusions (closing a hole between the heart's upper chambers to prevent clots) and renal denervations (destroying nerves in arteries supplying the kidneys as a treatment for high blood pressure).


Research Interests

Dr Faggioni’s research focuses on ways to improve clinical outcomes for patients having interventional cardiology procedures.
