Interventional Cardiologist Jake Mancuso, MD is Board Certified in Cardiovascular Disease, Interventional Cardiology, Endovascular Medicine and Vascular Medicine.
Dr. Mancuso admits that growing up, he was a tinkerer. First with appliances and later with motorcycles and cars, Dr. Mancuso was famous for taking things apart and putting them back together. That's largely how he eventually fell in love with interventional cardiology where he performs minimally-invasive, catheter-based procedures to restore blood flow to diseased blood vessels in the heart and legs.
Dr. Mancuso has a Bachelor of Science degree in molecular biology from University of Texas at Austin and he completed his medical degree at University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio's School of Medicine. He completed his internal medicine residency and cardiovascular diseases and interventional cardiology fellowships at University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio.
Dr. Mancuso has been involved in research with advanced intravascular imaging and specializes in coronary stent and vulnerable plaque analysis. He is also experienced in radial access coronary interventions where catheters are inserted in the wrist instead of the groin (femoral access).
He is a member of the American College of Cardiology and the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions.
