Experience

Dr Corbett has worked for Southampton University Hospitals Trust since June 2008.

I am fully trained in all aspects of coronary intervention including formative experience with renowned pioneer and innovator, Dr Antonio Colombo in Milan. Principal clinical interests are the use of angioplasty to treat heart attacks and the use of intra-vascular ultrasound and pressure wires to assess and guide treatment of coronary artery narrowings. My main research interests are participation in multi-centre, randomised clinical trials and local research projects evaluating the coronary pressure wire and measurement of platelet reactivity.
