Transcatheter valve surgeries offer valve replacement without traditional open surgery. These innovative procedures provide options for people who otherwise might not be able to have surgery. Our surgeons offer transcatheter valve replacement for both aortic and mitral valves.
During the procedure, your surgeon will typically use a small incision in the groin area to guide a thin tube called a catheter with a folded replacement valve up into the heart. Then, the replacement valve is placed, and the catheter is removed.
