over 150 PDA coil occlusions, over 200 ASD and patent foramen closures and
literally hundreds of valve dilitations, thereby obviating the need for cardiac
surgery in many children. Dr. Berman has authored nearly 100 peer-reviewed
articles, books and book chapters. He is a member of the Society for Cardiac
Angiography and Interventions, the Society for Pediatric Research and the American
Physiologic Society.
