Structural Heart Procedures

Until recently, the only way to treat moderate to severe structural heart abnormalities was through open heart surgery. Today, many FDA-approved medical advancements allow cardiologists to use nonsurgical, minimally invasive, and cardiac catherization procedures.

The Cardiac & Vascular Interventional Group is pleased to offer solutions to your structural heart ailments, as led by our highly skilled specialist Dr. Luis Bowen.

Structural heart procedures provided by CVIG include:

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR): Using catheter-based technology, TAVR positions a replacement aortic valve while the heart continues to beat. This eliminates the need for a long chest-wall incision and makes the use of a heart/lung bypass machine unnecessary. TAVR provides a shorter, more comfortable recovery period compared to surgical valve replacement.
The WATCHMAN Device: This one-time, catheter-based procedure helps patients with atrial fibrillation reduce their risk of stroke, so they no longer need to take any blood-thinning medication on a daily basis. The procedure works by permanently implanting a device to block blood flow from going into the left atrial appendage so blood cannot pool during atrial fibrillation episodes, which prevents blood clot formation.
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) transcatheter closure: This procedure repairs the PFO, a congenital heart defect in which a hole in the heart didn’t close at birth.
