Dr. Savage was instrumental in the formation of the Jefferson Angioplasty Center, a second-opinion center for high-risk patients with complex cardiovascular disease. Under Dr. Savage’s oversight, the Jefferson team has pioneered many advances in interventional cardiology procedures and was at the forefront of clinical research leading to the development of coronary stents which have revolutionized the treatment of heart disease. Dr. Savage’s research continues to advance the care of patients with cardiac disease by perfecting techniques for less invasive alternatives to heart surgery. He has produced over 300 publications including the textbook, “Clopidogrel and the Newer P2Y12 Antiplatelet Agents”, and serves on the editorial board of several journals. Dr. Savage has received numerous honors for patient care, research and teaching.
