I am scheduled to start my Interventional year in 2014. I just received a call from my PD, asking if I would be interested in postponing my ACGME PGY 7 to 2015 and instead start 2014 as structural fellow, training in TAVR, mitraclip, etc. The center is a high volume TAVR center, so I'd have to ensure (if I take on the offer) that I actually get to do several of them as primary operator, especially towards the later part of my structural year. I am currently doing some PCIs including non type A & shd have ~150 by end of my PGY 6, so hopefully I can get onboard with being 'structural' fellow soon after.
I plan to have an academic career in the future.
I need your input, if this is a good idea & what pitfalls should I be looking for.
