Michel T. Corban, MD, is a board-certified interventional cardiologist and clinical researcher with expertise in percutaneous coronary interventions, coronary physiology, and structural heart disease interventions. He is also an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Arizona Sarver Heart Center.

Dr. Corban received his MD degree from the American University of Beirut in Lebanon. He then completed a postdoctoral research fellowship in interventional cardiology and his internal medicine residency training at Emory University in Atlanta, GA, followed by a cardiovascular disease fellowship, an interventional cardiology fellowship, and an advanced fellowship in structural heart disease interventions at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN.

Clinical Practice:
Dr. Corban's clinical practice focuses on the treatment of patients with coronary artery disease requiring percutaneous coronary interventions, invasive diagnosis and treatment of patients with coronary microvascular dysfunction (diseases of the smallest heart vessels) and endothelial dysfunction (diseases of the inner cell lining of the heart vessels), and performing transcatheter interventions for patients with valvular heart disease (such as severe aortic valve stenosis for which he has done more than 250 transcatheter aortic valve replacement [TAVR] procedures) and non-valvular structural heart diseases (such as device closure of patent foramen ovale and atrial septal defect, and alcohol septal ablations for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy).
