Heart Valve & Structural Heart Intervention

Damaged heart valves resulting in the incomplete opening (stenosis) or closing (regurgitation) can lead to the lack of blood flowing out of the heart or leakage of blood backward into the preceding chamber. This can lead to abnormal enlargement of the heart chambers or heart failure over time.

Traditionally, these conditions are often treated with open-heart surgery. However, there may be concomitant medical conditions (such as advanced age, kidney failure, previous open-heart surgeries) that may increase the risk of open-heart surgery. These patients can consider minimally invasive Heart Valve Interventions available at our practice
