Structural Heart and Valve Disease

Vanderbilt is consistently ranked among the nation’s best by leading authorities on health care quality. People from throughout the Southeast and across the country rely on us for the best and most innovative care possible. 

Because we are part of an academic medical center, we offer access to some of the most promising new treatments and therapies being tested in clinical trials. Participating in a clinical trial is always optional. Find a clinical trial.

Our researchers are dedicated to developing new and more effective approaches to care. We not only apply the latest research, but also pioneer some of the latest innovations. You may have access to treatments before they are widely available.

Our team includes general cardiologists, interventional cardiologists and cardiac surgeons, all with advanced training and expertise in structural heart and valve disease. We treat patients with all diseases of the aortic, mitral or tricuspid valve, from the routine to the complex. Patients from around the region travel to Vanderbilt for advanced care of common and rare heart conditions.

Less invasive transcatheter and surgical techniques treat many types of valve disease. Incisions are small, if any. And most patients go home the next day.

At our center, you’ll see both a cardiologist and a surgeon in one appointment. You may be able to make a treatment decision that day and have your procedure in a couple of weeks.
