Natasha Corballis

Dr. Natasha Corballis is an NIHR Research Fellow at Norwich Medical School, University of East Anglia, where she conducts clinical research in interventional cardiology. Her work focuses on innovative strategies for percutaneous coronary intervention, particularly the use of drug-coated balloons without stents.

Research Interests: Her primary areas include drug-coated balloon angioplasty, management of stent thrombosis, chronic total occlusions, and acute coronary syndromes such as STEMI. She investigates both de novo and in-stent lesions, aiming to improve patient outcomes through minimally invasive techniques.

Her recent publications show a strong trend toward evidence-based evaluation of DCB-only strategies, including systematic reviews, comparative safety studies, and single-center clinical analyses. These works span high-impact journals in cardiovascular medicine, reflecting her active contribution to advancing interventional cardiology practice.

Scientific Contributions:

• Principal Investigator on the NIHR-funded project 'Coronary bifurcation percutaneous coronary intervention: investigating a stentless strategy with drug coated balloons' (2023–2026)
• Active collaboration with clinicians and researchers including Dr. V.S. Vassiliou, Dr. S.C. Eccleshall, and Dr. A. Clark

Advising and Grants: As an NIHR Research Fellow, Dr. Corballis leads an active research project funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research. While no formal students are listed, her role involves mentoring within a clinical research consortium and contributing to training through collaborative research output.

Labs and Teams: She is part of a cardiology research team involved in the SPARTAN-Norfolk Consortium, engaging in multicenter and single-center studies on novel angioplasty techniques.
