Paul Kramer

Paul H. Kramer, MD, FACC, FSCAI,
Board-certified in Internal Medicine, Cardiovascular Disease and Interventional Cardiology has dedicated most of his career to the evolution of minimally invasive treatments by being a principal investigator in clinical trials of new devices. In addition, he has taught these techniques to other cardiologists locally, regionally, nationally and around the world. Dr. Kramer is one of the leading physicians in the country to use a non-invasive procedure to repair holes in the heart, commonly known as patent foramen ovale and atrial septal defect closure. He has worked to develop this technique from its early conceptual stage and has performed hundreds of cases.

Dr. Kramer has been involved in developing minimally invasive treatments for leaky mitral valves, carotid artery stenosis (blockage), migraine headache, heart failure, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (overly muscular heart), kidney artery blockages, and blocked arteries elsewhere in the body. Dr. Kramer is also one of the few cardiologists in the United States involved in the out-patient, officebased treatment of certain kinds of vein disease which in the past have been treated by vein stripping.
