Working together, they create an individualized treatment plan to achieve optimal results. Our dedicated cardiothoracic surgeons and interventional cardiologists are experienced in the most advanced diagnostic and treatment services available, including minimally invasive options like transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and mini mitral valve repair that are proven to reduce pain and recovery time.

Minimally-Invasive Experts for Heart Disease

At Adventist Health St. Helena, heart specialists focus on treating heart valve disease using advanced minimally-invasive techniques whenever possible. Instead of traditional open-heart surgery that requires a large incision through the breastbone, many procedures can be performed through smaller incisions between the ribs. Transcatheter procedures may be used which require no incision to the patient's chest or ribs. These approaches may help reduce pain, minimize scarring, shorten hospital stays, and support a faster recovery for patients.
