@ StentWorld:
UMASS has good STEMI volume being outside of Boston , no much complex PCIs, intravascular imaging or advance circulatory support devices. new but low volume and relatively weak structural procedures (4-5 TAVIs a month, just started MitrClip, no LAA closures). Questionable stability in the faculty as one of their attendings was leaving, unclear why! Autonomy seems to be an issue in that place.
Brown is relatively more laid back, supportive and nice program director, increasingly growing structural program, good volume and operators. They have structural fellowship which takes away the structural exposure from interventional fellows. More advanced devices and complex PCIs.
