Interventional Cardiology

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. 

We perform more procedures every year in our cardiac catheterization lab than any other hospital in the region. Our vast experience means expert care for you. We welcome patients with even the most advanced or complex heart conditions, who may have been turned away by other hospitals.

Our doctors have specialized training in interventional cardiology. As leading experts, our doctors also serve in the organizations responsible for establishing national guidelines for patient care.

We offer advanced therapies that are not widely available. For example, we were the first in Nashville to consistently perform interventional cardiology procedures through a wrist artery instead of a leg artery. We also were first in Tennessee to use minimally invasive catheter techniques to replace aortic valves and to treat mitral valve insufficiency.

Vanderbilt Health brings together specialized providers, advanced technology and research in one connected system. If your care is part of a more complex health concern, we’ll work with experts in all areas related to your care to tailor a treatment plan just for you

Our researchers are leaders in exploring ways to improve care. You may have the option to take part in studies called clinical trials, which test promising new approaches under close monitoring. Participation is always your choice. We’ll give you the information you need to decide. Explore clinical trials.
