Our Approach to Structural Heart Disease
Montefiore Einstein Center for Heart and Vascular Care is a world-renowned leader in early diagnosis and treatment of all types of structural heart disease. Our Center is ranked in the top 1% of all hospitals in the nation for cardiology, heart and vascular surgery and is recognized as high-performing for heart attack, heart failure, and heart bypass surgery by U.S. News & World Report. Our team of highly specialized experts use a multidisciplinary approach to treat each patient, collaborating across departments to develop the best treatment plans, improve clinical outcomes, and restore quality of life.
Advanced Treatments
We offer advanced, minimally invasive surgical solutions for all types of structural heart disease, which include aortic valve disease, congenital heart disease, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, mitral valve disease, tricuspid and pulmonic valve disease, and many others. We provide a range of solutions, depending on the type and stage of the condition.
Cardiac Catheterization
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) & Transcather Aortic Valve Implantations (TAVI)
Transcather Tricuspid Value Edge to Edge Repair (T-TEER)
Transcatheter Tricuspid valve edge to edge repair is a minimally invasive procedure to treat tricuspid regurgitation (leaky tricuspid valve). The procedure involves using a catheter to insert a device through a vein in your groin to insert specialized “clips” to bring the tricuspid valve leaflets together thereby reducing the leakage.
Mitral Valve Edge to Edge Repair (M-TEER)
Transcatheter Mitral valve edge to edge repair is a minimally invasive procedure to treat mitral regurgitation (Leaky mitral valve). The procedure involves using a catheter to insert a device through a vein in your groin to insert specialized “clips” to bring the mitral valve leaflets together thereby reducing the leakage.
Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair & Replacement (TMVR)
Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement is a minimally invasive procedure to treat mitral valve regurgitation (Leaky Mitral Valve), or mitral valve stenosis (Tight Mitral Valve). The procedure involves using a catheter to insert a new valve through a vein in your groin to completely replace the mitral valve thereby treating the mitral regurgitation or stenosis.
