Your Treatment Is Our Specialty
At the AdventHealth Heart, Lung and Vascular Institute, we use groundbreaking technology and the most advanced procedures available. We’re dedicated to saving and improving lives and to giving you and your family hope at every step of your heart care journey. Below are just a few of the ways we treat heart valve issues.
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)
This minimally invasive surgical procedure uses a catheter to insert the new heart valve into place.
MitraClip®
An alternative to open-heart surgery, the MitraClip® procedure is a catheter-based therapy for select patients with mitral valve regurgitation (leaky valve).
Open-Heart Surgery
Surgery to repair or replace the affected valve is a safe and effective procedure in institutions that specialize in valve surgery, like AdventHealth.
