Heart Valve Disorders

Minimally invasive procedures exist that allow for the repair of malfunctioning heart valves.
TAVR – For patients with severe narrowing of the aortic valve this procedure allows for replacing the aortic valve without the need for open heart surgery.
Mitral Clip – For patients with severe leakage of the mitral valve this procedure allows for repair of the valve using minimally invasive technique.

TAA (Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm)

Diagnostic tests to determine the best form of treatment. This may include: CT Scans or Angiograms.
Endovascular Repair of Aneurysm using a stent graft. This is performed through the leg in a minimally invasive manner. Typically 24 hour hospitalization is required.

AAA (Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm)

Often asymptomatic, risk of rupture which is almost universally fatal.
Diagnosed using Ultrasound or CT Scan
Endovascular Repair of Aneurysm (see below for more)

PAD/PVD Peripheral Artery Disease

Leg Pain or Numbness which occurs with ambulation.

Diagnosed using Ultrasound or Angiogram

Treatment options include:

Medications
Walking/Exercise regimen
Endovascular repair using several devices including: atherectomy (plaque removal devices), balloon angioplasty and stent placement (minimally invasive)

Coronary Artery Disease

Chest pain, Shortness of Breath, or Fatigue treated with:

Medical therapy
Diagnostic Ultrasound or Angiogram
Cardiac Catheterization
Stent placement (minimally invasive)

Carotid Artery Disease

Dizziness or Syncope treated with:

Medical therapy
Diagnostic Ultrasound or Angiogram
Stent placement (minimally invasive)
