Dr. Milan Jovanović

Dr. Milan Jovanović is a senior interventional cardiologist at the Clinical Center of Serbia in Belgrade, the country's leading tertiary medical center. With 20 years of clinical experience, he has performed over 4,000 coronary interventions and is one of Serbia's most respected cardiologists.

Dr. Jovanović completed an interventional cardiology fellowship at the University Hospital Essen in Germany, gaining expertise in complex coronary interventions and cutting-edge PCI techniques. His training in one of Germany's leading heart centers gave him exposure to high-volume complex PCI including CTO and bifurcation procedures.

He returned to Belgrade where he leads the interventional cardiology unit at the Clinical Center of Serbia, managing a high-volume catheterization laboratory. He is an active member of the Serbian Cardiology Society and represents Serbia in European Society of Cardiology working groups.

Dr. Jovanović is known for his precision and calm under pressure in acute cardiac situations and for his thorough patient counseling approach. He regularly trains cardiology fellows and is an associate professor at the University of Belgrade School of Medicine.

Dr. Jovanović graduated from the University of Belgrade School of Medicine in 2001. He completed his cardiology residency at the Clinical Center of Serbia and undertook an interventional cardiology fellowship at the University Hospital Essen (Universitätsklinikum Essen), Germany (2006–2008). His PhD from the University of Belgrade in 2010 focused on outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with diabetes. He is certified by the Serbian Medical Chamber in internal medicine and cardiology.

Dr. Jovanović specializes in complex coronary interventions including bifurcation PCI, chronic total occlusion (CTO) procedures, and left main coronary artery interventions. He uses intravascular imaging (IVUS and OCT) and physiological coronary assessment (FFR/iFR) to guide complex procedures. He performs comprehensive echocardiography and manages the full spectrum of cardiovascular disease from acute myocardial infarction to chronic stable angina and heart failure. He also manages pacemaker and ICD follow-up in collaboration with electrophysiologists.

Dr. Jovanović has published over 25 peer-reviewed articles in journals including the European Heart Journal and Kardioloski Pregled. His research focuses on outcomes in complex PCI, diabetic patients undergoing coronary intervention, and the application of intracoronary physiology assessment. He collaborates with cardiology centers in Germany and participates in European PCI outcome registries.

Dr. Jovanović speaks Serbian and English and sees international patients for cardiology consultations and interventional procedures. The Clinical Center of Serbia has an international patient coordination service. Video consultations are available for pre-procedure assessment and second opinions. Serbia offers high-quality cardiac care at very competitive costs, and Belgrade is well-connected by air to major European cities.

Dr. Jovanović received the Serbian Cardiology Society Award for Excellence in Interventional Cardiology in 2017. He was recognized by the Clinical Center of Serbia for his leadership in establishing the complex PCI program. He received the University of Belgrade School of Medicine's Teaching Excellence Award in 2021.
