About Dr. Luna

Dr. Michael Luna is an interventional cardiologist and a specialist in advanced cardiac pathology spanning the spectrum of advanced coronary artery disease, structural heart disease, and congenital heart disease.

His wide-ranging training has allowed him to carve out a unique career that covers a vast array of advanced cardiac lesions. He comes to our center with extensive experience in treating complex coronary artery disease including chronic total occlusions where he can employ both antegrade and retrograde techniques. He has developed a comfort with use of all mechanical circulatory support systems including ECMO. He can treat patients with valvular heart disease in all four heart valve positions percutaneously, which can include transcatheter valve repairs, like MitraClip, or complete valve replacements. These are often in older patients with forms of acquired heart disease but can also include younger patients with forms of congenital heart disease. There are other procedures like left atrial appendage occlusion which he can perform without the need for general anesthesia. Electrosurgical techniques are the most advanced percutaneous interventional cardiology techniques currently available that can treat very complex heart disease without the need for traditional cardiac surgery. He has a growing experience with these techniques which he now brings to UAMS as well.

Dr. Luna's Academic Background

He joined UAMS in January 2024 as Professor of Medicine and Director of the Structural Heart Disease Program. He also has an appointment at Arkansas Children’s Hospital and will be an integral part of the Adult Congenital Heart Disease Program there.

He earned his medical degree from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center where he also completed a residency in internal medicine and fellowships in cardiovascular diseases and adult interventional cardiology. During his time there, he underwent additional focused training in adult congenital heart disease, after which he also completed a fellowship in pediatric interventional cardiology. He holds board certifications in cardiovascular diseases, interventional cardiology, and adult congenital heart disease.
