Led by some of the most respected cardiac surgeons, cardiologists, interventional radiologists, cardiac electrophysiologists, and vascular surgeons, the heart and vascular programs of West Virginia University and WVU Medicine are among the best in the United States.

Our mission is to provide the best possible heart and vascular care for our patients. We do so by recruiting some of the finest physicians from across the country – men and women who are often recognized leaders in their specialty or subspecialty; investing heavily in new technology; practicing (and frequently developing) the latest techniques in heart and vascular care; and placing the highest emphasis on achieving great quality outcomes.

The West Virginia University Heart and Vascular Institute has deep expertise in the treatment of valvular heart disease. We specialize in minimally invasive procedure including transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).

In addition, we use minimally invasive, robotic surgery for mitral valve repairs and coronary artery bypass surgery. By using minimmally invasive, robotic procedures, we are generally able to expedite recovery, and our patients typically experience better outcomes.
