Structural Heart Disease Fellowship

Group of surgeons in operating room performing heart surgery procedure.

The Structural Heart Program is a multidisciplinary team that specializes in diseases of the heart valves, walls, and chambers. We use the latest percutaneous catheter-based techniques to treat all forms of structural defects, including aortic and mitral valve diseases, adult congenital defects, tricuspid valve regurgitation, as well as paravalvular leaks.

 

  • Left atrial appendage closure (WATCHMANTM, WATCHMAN FLXTM, and AmuletTM devices)
  • Percutaneous balloon aortic and mitral valvuloplasty
  • Transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (MitraClipTM, NTR, XTR, G4)
  • Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TendyneTM)
  • Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), including alternative access techniques
  • Protected TAVR using cerebral embolic protection
  • Robotic aortic valve replacement (RAVR)
  • Transcatheter valve-in-valve therapies for degenerated aortic, mitral and tricuspid biological valves
  • Catheter-based closure of atrial and ventricular septal defects, pseudoaneurysms, and paravalvular leaks
  • CardioMEMSTM device placement in patients with heart failure
