Heart Valve Disease
Learning you have heart valve disease can feel overwhelming. Our cardiovascular specialists will explain your options and create a personalized treatment plan for you.
Why Choose Sutter?
Heart valve disease interrupts the normal flow of blood through your heart’s four valves — aortic valve, mitral valve, pulmonic valve and tricuspid valve — and can be very dangerous to your health.
We specialize in various heart valve surgeries, including open-heart surgery and minimally invasive procedures for valve repair and replacement. We also offer advanced minimally invasive treatments using catheters, X-ray guidance and high-tech implants to treat heart valve disease. These methods allow for quick recovery, with most patients leaving the hospital the next day.
