Specialists in Valve Replacement and Repair

Although some types of heart valve disease may be managed with medication, an intervention is often needed to repair or replace the heart valves. Successful surgery requires a personalized approach from a team of experienced specialists. We offer a range of options, including transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), a minimally invasive procedure to replace the aortic valve in high-risk patients.

At Brigham and Women's Hospital, our multidisciplinary team, including interventional cardiologists and cardiac surgeons, are approachable and open. We will work with you and your family to make sure you understand your options and risks and will review your procedure with you from start to finish, answering all your questions.
