At Lankenau Heart Institute just minutes away from Philadelphia, we treat structural heart and valvular disease that other centers have deemed untreatable. Our team of cardiologists, imaging specialists, interventionists and surgeons is among the most experienced in the region. We use a team-based approach and are renowned for developing and performing advanced, minimally invasive surgical techniques whenever possible.
We were among the first in the nation to have access to MitraClip, a device that controls blood from flowing backwards into your heart (mitral valve regurgitation) without the use of open-heart surgery. On our team are the most experienced MitraClip implanters in the state of Pennsylvania.
For our patients with aortic stenosis, we have led the way in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), another groundbreaking and minimally invasive procedure that allows us to replace the aortic valve by way of a catheter insertion in the groin (transfemoral), a small chest incision (transapical) or the ascending aorta (transaortic).
Our structural and valvular heart team offers a range of surgical and transcatheter treatments for individuals with severe or symptomatic heart valve disease, including:
We also treat patients who need re-operation for valve disease as well as those who have valve disease related to prior chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
