Our multidisciplinary cardiovascular team collaborates on mitral valve repair, transcatheter technologies, mitral valve replacement, and follow-up treatment so patients can get all their care for ...

Valve insufficiency or regurgitation happens more often in the mitral valve. When a valve leaks, the leaflets don’t close completely and some blood leaks backward rather than all of the blood flowing ...

Leaflet modification technique developed to prevent LVOT obstruction ...

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is valve replacement without open-heart surgery. It is also called catheter-based or percutaneous (through the skin) aortic valve replacement. While ...

The aortic valve sits between the heart’s left ventricle and the aorta. It opens and closes with the heartbeat to allow blood to flow to the body without leaking back into the heart. It may need to be ...

Early feasibility study results are promising for AltaValve, which is designed with a novel atrial fixation system to ...

Heart valves can be replaced with open heart surgery or with less invasive procedures that don’t require your chest to be opened. Known as transcatheter valve replacement, this type of procedure has ...

Mitral-valve repair can be accomplished with an investigational procedure that involves the percutaneous implantation of a clip that grasps and approximates the edges of the mitral leaflets at the ...

PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa. (WPVI) -- The TAVR procedure has revolutionized a challenging task in heart care: fixing stiff valves. And it has made the process much easier for patients, getting them back to ...

Replacing a faulty heart valve can restore healthy circulation, but the procedure carries some risks. These include blood clots, infection, and other complications. Generally, the outlook is usually ...

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a minimally invasive procedure to replace your aortic valve. The aortic valve controls blood flow from your heart to your aorta, the main artery that ...
