With almost 30 years of experience and thousands of complex procedures performed, Dale Groth is a distinguished surgical and interventional consultant in preclinical research. His career spans cardiovascular, neurovascular, and general surgery, where he has developed, refined, and executed cutting-edge surgical models. Dale’s expertise extends across the development of disease models for advanced interventions, trans-catheter device testing, drug delivery strategies, and organ transplantation. His contributions to the field have established him as a leader in large-scale surgical studies and complex interventional techniques, making him a sought-after expert for training and collaboration.

• Advanced Surgical Techniques: Expertise in structural heart procedures (both surgical and interventional), neurosurgery, and vascular access creation. Skilled in complex interventions such as coronary artery bypass, valve replacements (aortic, mitral, tricuspid, pulmonary), cerebral aneurysm treatments, and kidney transplantations.
• Disease Model Development: Development of disease models for myocardial infarction, valvular heart disease, cerebral aneurysms, ischemic stroke, heart failure, deep vein thrombosis, and other complex pathologies.
• Interventional Cardiology & Vascular Expertise: Proficient in a range of catheter-based procedures, including TAVR, TMVR, and neuro-interventional treatments for stroke and aneurysms. Experience in developing AVF/AVG models and employing techniques like stent grafts and balloon treatments.
• Surgical Equipment Mastery: Extensive experience with CPB machines for cardiac bypass surgeries, fixed and mobile cath lab systems (Philips, Siemens, GE), ultrasound imaging systems (ACUSON Sequoia), and advanced technologies like IVUS, OCT, and hemodynamic monitoring.
• Training & Mentorship: Trains surgical personnel in advanced cardiothoracic procedures, neurovascular techniques, CPB operation, and intra-operative critical thinking. Notable experience in training and mentoring technicians for both surgical and interventional procedures.

Dale is driven by a commitment to advancing medical innovation through meticulous research, skillful surgery, and effective collaboration. He believes in fostering progress by providing clients with top-tier surgical expertise, guiding critical interventions, and developing disease models that drive preclinical success.
