These advanced methods often result in faster recovery, smaller incisions, and a reduced chance of complications compared to traditional open-heart surgery.

PIONEERS IN MITRAL VALVE REPAIR

Choosing the right team for mitral valve disease treatment is crucial. The Temple Heart & Vascular Institute is among the most respected heart programs in the Philadelphia region, recognized for pioneering new surgical repair methods. Our cardiovascular specialists excel in minimally invasive mitral valve repair and in complex cases involving multiple heart conditions, our interventional cardiologists are adept at performing hybrid heart procedures in our state-of-the-art facilities.

ADVANCED TREATMENT OPTIONS

Our commitment to minimally invasive techniques means we offer a range of advanced treatment options, such as:

MitraClip™ Procedure: An alternative to traditional open-heart surgery for some patients, the MitraClip is a small device inserted via catheter that acts like a clothespin to hold the leaflets of the mitral valve together, ensuring that the valve closes properly and reduces leakiness.
Balloon Valvuloplasty: For patients with mitral valve stenosis, this minimally invasive technique uses a balloon-tipped catheter to widen the narrowed valve in the heart, improving blood flow.

By offering these and other cutting-edge treatments, we aim to provide solutions for nearly every situation, including the most complex cases.
