Get to know Interventional Cardiologist Dr. J. A. Mustapha, who serves patients in Michigan & Las Vegas, Nevada.

A board-certified interventional cardiologist, Dr. Mustapha is President, Chief Executive Officer, and Director of Endovascular Interventions at Advanced Cardiac & Vascular Centers. He operates out of the offices in Grand Rapids and Lansing, Michigan & Las Vegas, Nevada. Specializing in endovascular revascularization of peripheral artery disease (PAD) and critical limb ischemia (CLI), he has held many academic and professional titles throughout his career, but the one he’s most proud of is the simplest: “The Leg Saver.” he developed the notion early in his practice that a device to unblock arteries leading to the heart might be used to perform the same thing for legs. He performed his first peripheral vascular limb-salvage treatment more than a dozen years ago, preventing the amputation of the leg of a 52-year-old woman suffering from severe PAD. Today, Dr. Mustapha is recognized throughout the world as a pioneer for his groundbreaking work in CLI, which is marked by the severe obstruction of arteries drastically reducing blood flow to the extremities. Left untreated, CLI can result in amputations. He has authored numerous papers and teaches and speaks internationally on the topic.
